Prudence is a workable middle ground, a channel of clear sailing between the obstacles of fear on the one side and of recklessness on the other. Prudence in practice creates a definite climate, the only climate in which harmony, effectiveness, and consistent spiritual progress can be achieved. ~Twelve Concepts

Today I am grateful...
- that the nagging back ache I have had for the last four days seems to be subsiding. Maybe it was the lifting I did yesterday at a client's house.
- for the using dream in which I had a black out, admitted to others over breakfast and was resigned to picking up a desire chip--I still have the feeling of being humbled
- that I no longer think, "What an order!"
- for the incredible healing available in recovery
- that God will place another alcoholic in my path today, and it only takes one to keep me sober
As an alcoholic I wasted so much time. For most of my life I was "out to lunch"! Today I spend time enjoying my life - and I spend quality time alone with "self". I enjoy my little conversations with self - the thoughts I have and need to ponder upon. I need time to rest in the peace of my life. Time is a precious gift from God that should not be wasted. ~Fr Leo

Scott-I love that-
I no longer think, "What an order!"
How true is that???
This is the easier softer way by far.
And yes how true that it only takes one to keep me sober.
Damn, you're like all profound today.
Would that be the veal cutlet order? Who placed that order anyway?
In my circles, sometimes we revise that to be "what, an order?" - was cute the 1st 753 times but not so much...
Funny that we were talking about Warranty 2 this week. Prudence up there with "moderation" as a concept hard for us alchies to get our heads around.
I had a back ache on Sunday but after a bunch of ibuprofen, it went away yesterday. I'm glad that it isn't bothering me today. Have a good order-free day.
...that I no longer think, "What an order!"
That's a nice place to be, isn't it?
Your sis is kind of a smart aleck today..
Lou, we were raised to be smart alecks!
