Twenty-Four Hours A Day

A.A. Thought For The Day

"Those who do not recover are people who are constitutionally
incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such
unfortunates. They are not at fault. They seem to have been
born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and
developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty.
Their chances are less than average. There are those, too, who
suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them
do recover, if they have the capacity to be honest." Am I completely
honest with myself and with other people?

...............no I'm not. I continually find myself bullshitting
throughout the course of the day. I can't quite grasp the "totally
honesty" concept on the job, for fear of becoming "totally fired."

Also, in my personal life I SOMETIMES deny and try to associate blame
before I catch myself. Oh, for the drinking days when this was simply
considered "life."
