~William Arthur Ward
One of the finest things about A.A. is the sharing. Sharing is a wonderful thing because the more you share the more you have. In our old drinking days, we didn't do much sharing. We used to keep things to ourselves, partly because we were ashamed, but mostly because we were selfish. And we were very lonely because we didn't share. When we came into A.A., the first thing we found was sharing. We heard other alcoholics frankly sharing their experiences with hospitals, jails, and all the usual mess that goes with drinking. Am I sharing?
Learning to share with trusted friends has been the single biggest step forward in my recovery. It has allowed me to confess and in confessing I have let go of resentments and shame that I could only ever have imagined before.
