clement ci - day 193 attempting abstinence, 113 from self

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:"

9:19am : reflection on Day Counts : the most important one is relying on God not self. Relying on God is going to be the lynchpin, the foundation, on which everything else is based. And it will keep me in relationship with God which is a joy. And it ensures my afterlife in heaven.

11:09am next day : i completely fell apart last night. No, it's not complete. It was of a certain duration, and not longer which would have been worse. The failure was *bounded*. My remorse and self recrimination should be similarly bounded.

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

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)

That my mtg went well and i have a chance to teach. Thank you God for that opportunity. It is a good gift to me! :D
