Don't Cheat Yourself

Half measures avail us nothing. Some relapsers contend they continued to attend meetings until their relapse, but admit that they failed to maintain contact with their sponsors. Sponsors tell us what we need to hear instead of what we like to hear. They alert us when we are deviating from the program. Addiction is very cunning. It can lead us to believe we are safe just because we are attending meetings. Meetings are vital, but we should not deceive ourselves by thinking we are working a quality program if we are not relating regularly to our sponsors.
