“When I first came into the rooms, I was amazed and relieved to hear the sharing of the regular members. Their drinking tales and adventures helped me begin to feel that I wasn’t alone, and that there might be hope for me.”
If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others.
— Brennan Manning
Cling to the thought that, in God’s hands, the dark past is the greatest possession you have—the key to life and happiness for others. With it you can avert death and misery for them.
