Cling to the thought that, in God's hands, the dark past is the greatest possession you have---the key to life and happiness for others. With it you can avert death and misery for them.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 124
No longer is my past an autobiography; it is a reference book to be taken down, open and shared. Today as I report for duty, the most wonderful picture comes through. For, though this day be dark---as some days must be---the stars will shine brighter later. My witness that they do shine will be called for in the very near future. All my past will this day be a part of me, because it is the key, not the lock.
