MEMORIES
“History is the seed bed of the future.”
— Leo Booth
I talk about my drinking history, remembering the incidents and losses, because I believe “there is no gain without pain.” To enjoy my sobriety I must share, on a daily basis, the reality of my disease. My pain is rooted in my history. I must live with my disease on a daily basis. I need to be aware of the disease process in my life.
This awareness requires a “rigorously honest” inventory of my past attitudes and behaviors; ignorance is bliss for the disease of addiction! The acceptance and awareness of my past is my treatment for today. The more I understand about my yesterdays the better my recovery will be today. My life has a history and my spiritual program demands that I understand it.
Teach me to face my past so that I can realistically live in my today.
