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.

I am so proud of you. Keep it up. Personally, I celebrated two years on June 18th. It feels great and I can't believe its two years already. Time flies when you're having fun. Been out of work for the past several months dealing with this cancer thing, but I am now in remission and will be going back to work this week. I feel ready. Too bored laying around this house!!!!

Just had RNY (revision) 9 weeks ago. I gained 7 pounds in the past week, started Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago. The only thing I can think of is that it is this medicine, since I am eating less and working out more. Just curious if this has happened to anyone?
BTW, I would love to read all the subjects on this board, but am frustrated that I have to wade through the same topic posted daily (the spiritual and grateful posts). Nothing against them, just pointing out that it makes finding other subjects (relevant to mental health) hard to find.

He prescribed me Reserdal and I cannot find any "good" information in regards to GBS patients. Can anyone give me any insight as to what I'm in for?
06/18 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I believe today that I have a right to make spiritual progress. I have a right to be emotionally mature. I have a right to take pleasure in my own company, and that makes me more pleasant to be with. I also have a right to become willing -- deeply willing, entirely willing -- to make amends to all those I've harmed. Because I can now accept myself the way I am, I can accept other people the way they are -- not entirely, but to a much greater degree than in the past. HAVE I BEGUN TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH GOD, AND THUS WITH MYSELF?
TODAY I PRAY
May God show me that it's okay to like myself, even while trying to repair old wrongs and rebuild from splinters. May I keep telling myself that I am different now, I have changed, I am a better and wiser and healthier perosn, I have made some good choices. As this "new person," may I find it easier to make atonements for what happened long ago and in another spiritual place. May those I have wronged also find it easier to accept my amends.
