What level of honesty are you living now?
How honest are you with strangers, institutions and businesses, acquaintances, friends, family, spouse?
How honest are you with yourself?
"Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves."
-- Walter Anderson
Alcohol's Promise: I am more powerful than all the combined armies of the world. I have destroyed more people than all the wars of the nations. I have caused millions of accidents and wrecked more homes than all the floods, tornadoes and hurricanes put together. I am the world's slickest thief, I steal billions of dollars each year. I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young, the strong and the weak. I loom up to such proportions that I cast a shadow over a field of labor. I am relentless, insidious and unpredictable. I am everywhere; in the home, on the street, in the factory, in the office, on land and in the air. I bring sickness, poverty and even death. I give nothing and take all. I am your worst enemy. I am alcohol. I am patient and I am waiting. ~Anonymous~
