I have come to realize that the name of the game is not so much to stop drinking as to stay sober. Alcoholics can stop drinking in many places and many ways -- but Alcoholics Anonymous offers us a way to stay sober. ~p. 559, Alcoholics Anonymous

Today I am grateful...
- that for a day off I sure had to get started early by meeting the closet installers at 8 AM, they showed up at 8:45 AM and we did the closet walk through before they start installing the fixtures
- that my car is small enough to sneak into tight parking places--I got the dreaded tiny one by the concrete wall where no one wants to park
- that I dropped off the bamboo shaped metal rods that had been clanking around in my back seat all weekend
- that KAS is taking time out of her busy schedule to check my web site hosting information
- that I could speak with MJ this morning about the Lambda phone bill and how screwed up electronic billing is--without either of us losing our tempers. We used to butt heads back when.
- that I may be late posting today but I am honoring my commitment
The program of Alcoholics Anonymous has to be enough. ~Sharon F during her lead yesterday about how a friend of hers thinks there are too many platitudes, can't deal with meetings, too much focus on the problems, etc.

I'm grateful that the program of AA is enough today - I think that's God's 2nd outpouring of grace for me...
I knew you would post eventually today 'cause you're dependable that way.
I don't like those tight places to park.
I hear excuses a lot about why people can't get to meetings or work the steps or get a sponsor, etc. I'm glad that I was willing and ready to do what I needed to do to get better. Thank God for that.
It was not for me so much willingness
to do something, and get better.
My mind simply was not functioning enough to even CONSIDER such thoughts
...and that's the truth, if ever there was a truth!
--Blathering Idiot
I'm glad you're getting your closet organized. But it's been so long since you were there!
Have a great day Scott.
Not my closet, a clients several closets.
I am grateful that you honor your commitment. Thank you.
