The Old Man said, `you are both ugly and handsome and you must accept your ugliness as well as your handsomeness in order to really accept yourself."

Larry P. Aitken  Chippewa   "My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen."   Big Book pg. 76 Reprinted with permission A.A.W.S.   Great Spirit help me, help me not to judge, you made us complete, good and bad.
