Through our commitment to anonymity we can put aside what we are and begin to know who we are. ~ Family Groups, Al-Anon. Courage to Change—One Day at a Time in Al Anon II . Al-Anon Family Groups. Kindle Edition.

Recently I repeated a conversation
that occurred more than a decade ago.
It embarrassed a person involved
and present to hear the story.
The person believed I was bragging on them
when really I was boasting about me.
I’ve always been inclined to point out
ways I excel. But through our commitment
to anonymity we can put aside
what we are and begin to know
who we are. without the need to brag!
