When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically. ~Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 64

Today I am grateful...
- that I removed the first bullet point here because it was a rehash of last night's dinner fiasco and I just can leave that alone today
- for British humour--we watched Graham Norton last night and his show is the best entertainment
- that this weekend we have Intergroup phones at Lambda Center and I get to do some service work
- that today an out-of -own artist/collector will come by for a studio visit
- for the three day weekend!
We need to remember that the disease of addiction still lives in our recovery. However, our honest attempts at dealing with a problem or helping another with a problem - provided they are honest attempts -will usually be more than sufficient.Today I accept my best attempts with gratitude and I am not too proud to seek the advice of another. ~Fr Leo

According to the first quote, I guess I still have a serious spiritual malady.
I will enjoy every minute of my long week end, and wish the same for you.
"our honest attempts at dealing with a problem" Thank you. It is that isn't it to keep ourselves honest one day at a time. (Hugs)Indigo

The way I understand the BB quote - my only tool for recovering is working on the spiritual malady...
I love this as it means it's really not about "trying to be better" - I really need to get right spiritually to recover...
There is some debate about this in our AA community so I may be wrong but I still like it...
Love Graham Norton! (I recommend checking out "QI" if you like British humour!)
Have a great weekend...
Now I am really curious about last night's dinner fiasco.
Long weekends are wonderful.
