Monday 29th April 2013

 Stayed up late watching netflix. I also got involved with an ex when I knew it was not going to workout, to avoid taking care of myself. Today I will try again to care for my well-being by taking right actions. I will finish my assingment, fix my toilet, and then try to check in again. Thank you for being here!

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:"

"Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another." - James 5:16

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

I work-binged on my MIT. I got it done. But sobriety is more important than getting thigns done. The pattern of binging will get me into trouble--it's just a matter of time. So i pray that next time, God, pls give me the strength to tear myself away and take breaks.

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)

I got my MIT done, 1 day before it's due. Such a new feeling.
Had a gr8 family time.
DS had a great match that i got to watch.
wall sits.

That God channeled me to check-in here right at 11am, and thus remember the 11am phone mtg.
