“Doctors say that high blood pressure is a silent killer. For recovered alcoholics the silent killer is the ego. Like many with high blood pressure, we are often not even aware. Our ego regenerates and enlarges. The only clue - the reappearance of dishonesty, fear, resentment and selfishness. We have turned inward again, basking in self.”
The weak are dominated by their ego, the wise dominate their ego, and the intelligent are in a constant struggle against their ego.
— Hamza Yusuf
It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe.
