Journey 9:30
Back in the office today. Tomorrow I have an important meeting first thing at 9:00 so I need to remember I have to be here BEFORE 9 in order to have time to grab a coffee and put my stuff in my desk. I also have a class tomorrow afternoon so there will be no time for getting actual work done tomorrow, so today I need to be focused and organized. Me?! Focused and organized? Yes, Jo, you can be focused and organized.
Off to get a big glass of water and make my todo list and schedule for the day. When that's done I can have a nice coffee break.

READING
Physical Restraint
Self-control is hard work. When the urge comes to do something, which we know is not in our best interest, we physically restrain ourselves from performing the destructive action. This often requires hard, physical effort.
We may want to procrastinate when we should not be procrastinating, we may want to lash out in anger, we may want to retreat from a difficult task, we may want to continue a harmful relationship. Whatever the urge, if we know deep down that it is contrary to our Higher Power/God's will for us, we need to control it and not act on it.
Time spent with our Higher Power each day builds the strength and integrity, which can control our destructive urges. Alone, we are powerless, but with the PA program supporting us we find strength we never had before. With abstinence comes the clarity of mind necessary to evaluate our urges and desires.
May I have the moral strength to physically restrain myself when necessary.
