From "The Gift of Laughter:"
"Before my recovery from alcoholism began, laughter
was one of the most painful sounds I knew....When my
A.A. sponsor began to laugh and point out my self-pity
and ego-feeding deceptions, I was annoyed and hurt,
but it taught me to lighten up and focus on my recovery.
I soon learned to laugh at myself and eventually I taught
those I sponsor to laugh also. Every day I ask God
to help me stop taking myself too seriously."
c. 1990, Daily Reflections, page 59
