SLIPPING |
A common rationalization about not making the program goes like this: Harry over there slipped ten times before he made it. So what if I slip a few times.
|
| What is overlooked is that the last time Jack slipped, he slipped into a coffin; the last time Bob slipped, his baby son burned to death in a crib because of Bob's negligence, the last time Ann slipped, she got strychnine poisoning and became blind; and the last time Jim slipped, he tried to kill his wife and nearly did.
|
| We're not playing games here. This is a matter of life and death.
|
Have I stopped playing games?
|
Higher Power, let me know thatt it is not only my life but the lives of others that I endanger by playing loaded games
|
Today I will avoid slipping today by?
|
God help me to stay clean and sober today!
