NO SHRINE

"I realized that the world might never build a shrine to the fact that I was sober." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 336

"For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation." Psalm 149:4

For what it's worth: Alcoholism consorted with my defects of character and loved ones were deeply hurt. They certainly will build no shrine. Some may never forgive me. However, I know who has. A Higher Power has absolved me and takes delight in my recovery. God made a respectable man out of this past pitiful drunk, and He desires to be close to me. He guided me to Alcoholics Anonymous and gives me the Twelve Steps to climb up to an intimate relationship with Him, hopefully forever, surely for today.

God bless you.
