If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your cupboard, you'd best teach it to dance.

clement ci - day 177 attempting abstinence, 97 from self

The old has passed away. Behold, all things are made new.

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:"

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

Trusted God more and not been so highly stress out most of the day.
God did deliver, after all.

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)

How i did trust god, and work thru the stress, and keep working, keep doing tasks, using phone ckins, chat. God has molded this lump of clay enuf to receive his help in this.
That, in the end, i really had a solid day. Got a lot of my MITs done. I did my duty today.
Also for wife's encouragement :D

dedicated proper time and thought to review

was careful with my arm 

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

Review took much longer, tho I didn't procrastinate with it. so haven't done tidying or paid plumber.

i put Internet to bed and kept it that way for the full morning, but I didn,t stay out of the living room and found myself sitting and reading in a pom break. It was the last one so had already done some decent work.
