clement ci - day 140 attempting abstinence, 60 from self
Abstinence from unplanned time.
Abstinence from relying on self.
Perhaps there is a better way - we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity.
We never apologize to anyone for depending upon our Creator. We can laugh at those who think spirituality the way of weakness. Paradoxically, it is the way of strength. The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage. All men of faith have courage. They trust their God. We never apologize for God. Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do. We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be. At once, we commence to outgrow fear. p68 AA Big Book.

Thx for starter Mole. goes with today's meditation The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie:
"Recovery does not equal abstention from life.
Recovery means learning to live and learning to live fully. Recovery
means exploration, investigation, and experimentation.
Recovery
means being done with the rigid, shame-based rules from the past, and
formulating healthy values based on self-love, love for others, and
living in harmony with this world.
Experiment.
Try something new. Maybe you won't like it. Maybe you'll make a
mistake. But maybe you will like it, and maybe you'll discover something
you love.
Today, I will give
myself permission to experiment in life. I will stop rigidly holding
myself back, and I will jump in when jumping in feels right. God, help
me let go of my need to deprive myself of being alive. "
