THOSE WHO STILL SUFFER
For us, if we neglect those who are still sick, there is
unremitting danger to our own lives and sanity.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 151
I know the torment of drinking compulsively to quiet my
nerves and my fears. I also know the pain of whiteknuckled
sobriety. Today, I do not forget the unknown
person who suffers quietly, withdrawn and hiding in the
desperate relief of drinking. I ask my Higher Power to give
me His guidance and the courage to be willing to be His
instrument to carry within me compassion and unselfish
actions. Let the group continue to give me the strength to
do with others what I cannot do alone.
