Starting to work the program again and Courage to Change today's reading
Permalink  

I am guilty of not going to meetings, praying, working my program at all lately. I feel into some real stinking thinking...

Yesterday, I got the email address of someone in the program....

Today, I got up and read the promises and my daily readers....

Courage to change really spoke to me....

I want to get a new BETTER job after the first of the year...so this promise really spoke to me today...

We can not expect our higher power to do for us what we can do for ourselves....

Hi Mercedes I agree HP will not do for us what we can do for ourselves. I know that Meetings work because "Meeting makers make it"
Good Luck.

Mercedes - welcome back! How exciting that you've got a goal and you're doing the footwork to support it! Too cool - so happy for you.

I am glad that you're returning to your program and sorry about that stinking thinking. I have stepped away before and understand how that happens. It seems for me that it snowballs quickly but I find relief pretty fast when I recommit to my program.

(((hugs))) and I second the good luck!

I, too, have been away from the program a while and got all caught up in stinking thinking. Somehow I've gotten comfortable with isolation again. Though before it was just me but now 8 yrs with an alcoholic. Good to see you are back on path. I'm trying to get there myself. Good luck to you and prayers your way!
