Ambition
True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the deep
desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.

Hi everyone, Robin alcoholic.  I was a very driven, competitive and ambitious person.  I used to measure my worth and base my identity on what I achieved. I worked hard, I barely had a life, but I pushed myself and finally attained the career and status that I wanted.  Outwardly I was living my dreams.  Inwardly I was living a secret life of alcohol, insecurity and misery. As the reading suggests, I have found greater rewards in recovery than in any of my self-centered achievements.  I am grateful I found this program and a set of values for living life happy joyous and free.  Thank you.
