~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
06/20 REFLECTIONS FOR THE DAY
When we take the Ninth Step, we must be willing to be absolutely honest. Obviously, though, indiscriminate "absolute honesty" would blow the roof off many a house and entirely destroy some relationships. We must hold nothing back through deceit and pride; we may need to hold something back by discretion and consideration of others. Just when ande how we tell the truth -- or keep silent -- can often reveal the difference between genuine integrity and none at all. AM I GRATEFUL FOR THE PRODUCTS OF TRUTH WHICH, THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD, I HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO RECEIVE?
TODAY I PRAY
May I have the wisdom to know the fine-line difference between tact and dishonesty. In my eagerness to make restituition may I not be the charmer, the flatterer or the crawler who insists, "You're so good, and I'm so bad." All are forms of dishonesty and hark back to the role-playing days of my active addiction. May I recognize them.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Tact is honest selectivity.

Hi, nice reflections. Don't know the difference though.
