Today I am grateful...
- that this January doesn't feel like Januaries past. There is none of that emptiness I always felt after the new year started.
- that Bill Wilson wrote such phrases as " the pain of rebellion and thwarted pride"
- that I realized yesterday when asked by someone if our relationship was okay, and I had then asked why they asked, and to which they replied that I had been edgy lately, that their perceived edginess on my part was me taking care of myself
- that the program of AA gave me the permission I needed to give myself to take care of me
- that my Higher Power has given me the greatest gifts, that of choice and creation
I will relax and not get tense. I will have no fear, because everything will work out in the end. I will learn soul-balance and poise in a vacillating, changing world. I will claim God's power and use it because if I do not use it, it will be withdrawn. As long as I get back to God and replenish my strength after each task, no work can be too much. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

this is great!
is it January already?
damn!
Nice post!
I was asked yesterday if I was okay, and I've been working through some things as well. The point is, I'm facing them and dealing with them instead of playing ostrich-head-in-the-sand like I used to do. It's nice that people care about me enough to notice and ask about my state of mind.
I am glad you are feeling good this January. That is wonderful!
Beautiful post.
Asking God for replenishment after each task - what a great thought for a Tuesday in January.
I'm so glad you're taking care of you.
have had that similar experience with bullet #3, it's a tough one to others around us. this is why i go both ways. you know, with aa and al-anon :)
Good words of wisdom here. I do believe that everything will work out in the end if I just trust in my HP.
Good for you. If you do not take care of yourself you are not partaking in your own recovery.
Luv ya.
Oh, I know it's January... Thanks for the insight!
