“I was living in an deeply altered state of reality when I arrived in A.A. My thinking was solely based upon “what is in it for me.” There were no lines between the truth and lies. Honesty for me was like caviar - an acquired taste.”
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
— Albert Einstein
