thanks for starter Mole, I would feel if I did not get everything done, then I did not do anything. It helped to make a "done" list instead of a "to do " list.

riddled's Wednesday ToDos

productive workday (more or less)
swim (2km, it felt wonderful)
clear box S (there was just no time left after swimming + some household chores)

clement ci - day 263 attempting abstinence, 183 from self

Abstinence from unplanned time.

  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.

Abstinence from relying on self. AA Big Book says to rely on God. Quoted in my bookmarks : scroll down to "AA Big Book on fears : relying on God not self-reliance:"

  • I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety of relying on God than to get things done.
    • "15 Points" point 5 says:
      5. Develop and rehearse a daily plan of thinking and acting by which you will live that day relying on God, regardless of what may upset you or how hard the old urge to rely on self may hit you.

      My Plan is this:

      1. read "15 Points"
      2. Meditate for 5 min on the attributes of God

11:46 was a good recovery day. Lots of people are more productive, but i stayed on plan and it was an effort but not hard most of the time.

11:47pm :

(mt) = not counting 5 day Mission Trip 7/15-7/19


When we retire at night, we constructively review our day (BB).
  • Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?
  • Do we owe an apology?
  • Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once?
  • Were we kind and loving toward all?
  • What could we have done better?
    -- while successful day, i could have been more aware of God and his presence
    -- Not sure if overdue birthday present was more imp than urgent financial task
  • Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?
  • Or, were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream of life?

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (everything i "did well" comes from god, either thru gifts he's given me or the way he's transformed me)

Stayed on plan pretty much all day.
Nice dinner w/ family.
Bot birthday present for family member. Good choices.
Did several MITs.
