Trading

I became willing to make sobriety the most important thing in my life. . .
But how does one do that?
I traded dependence on puny self for dependence on God.
I traded resentment for understanding, fear for trust, selfishness for love.
I traded dissatisfaction for hope, dishonesty for truth.
I traded retaliation for amendment; taking for giving.
I traded leaning upon others for serving others.
I traded sectarian bigotry for tolerance.

Bigotry disfigures the heart.
