Reason


"For here we are not afraid to follow wherever it may lead, or to tolerate error so long as reason is free to combat it." Thomas Jefferson

As an alcoholic, I was often afraid to challenge the thinking and ideas of other people. My peoplepleasing demanded peace at any price.Yet I did not agree with so much of what I heard, read, and practiced. Now I see that my attitude and behavior-along with my alcohol consumption-kept me sick. In my spiritual program, I am free to reject, consider, and have my own opinions in life. I do not have to agree with everything that is said. In this way, I am discovering my value and self-esteem.

Lord, I am grateful for the freedom to cooperate.
