clement ci - day 156 attempting abstinence, 76 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. http://anonpress.org/bb/Page_68.htm

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER
keeping myself disciplined about pom breaks is proving very difficult. It is okay or better if I don't come into the house. I mad physically going to put anything I could get online with to bed - tuck it in with a bear or something and put a do not disturb sign on the door. It is me disturbing it that is the problem, not the other way round.
I wish I could learn to accept failure without judging myself
i need to get meals sorted -can't keep having boiled eggs and soldiers.
THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR
lovely surprise seeing G -
brief glimpse of L and winkles and will spend time with them tomorrow. Being around small children feels life affirming (in small doses)
LC's wonderful treatment and gentle conversation.
beautiful crisp evening
