    JUNE 20 Reflection 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 through discretion and consideration for others. Just when and 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 restitution, 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 gambling addiction. May I recognize them.

    Today I Will Remember
    Tact is honest selectivity.
