The Bondage of Self
Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy will.
Page 63 The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I was a prisoner of "the bondage of self" long before I ever picked up drink. I lived my whole life as if I was the very center of the universe. What a painful and empty way to live. Then I came to the program where, you have to serve others in order to ultimately serve yourself. What a brilliant plan, if I selfishly want to survive I have to unselfishly serve others. Only when I did begin serve God and my fellows the chains of the bondage of self began to break. ¶ 7/13/2005 04:00:00 AM
