Integrity has to be practiced in every aspect of his life.

I’ve been seeing ads on social media offering a huge collection of books about psychology, therapy, healing, motivation, and self-improvement for only 100 Mexican pesos. A question arose in me: Could this be dishonest? I asked those people whether they were the authors of that material, and their answers were everything except “yes.” 

Even while chasing something good with pain in my soul, if it comes dishonestly, I don’t believe it would do me any good. It would be like buying stolen medicines to heal my stomach infection. The Program has taught me, through a very strict sponsor I once had, that I must be honest in all my affairs, even in what is not related to lust.

Higher Power, I thank You that in Your mercy today I have days of sobriety. I commit, counting on Your grace, to stay sober, to accept the pain of surrender, and to do something for my recovery just for today.

P.S. I did not buy those books because the legality of that offer was unclear.
