June 3, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Friday, June 3, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

If you tell the truth, you don’t need to remember anything. — Mark Twain

One thing that’s a lot easier in our life now is this — we can keep our story straight! We are learning that there’s one really good way to get along with people: Keep it simple. Just tell the truth.

It’s hard to do at first. We might think, “If people see the real me, what will happen?” We might be afraid of what will happen if we don’t lie or make excuses.

But telling the truth works! We find out we never did fool anyone anyway.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, make me honest.

Action for the Day

I’ll list all the ways honesty will help me in recovery. I’ll sign up to give a meeting on honesty.
