clement ci - day 221 attempting abstinence, 141 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.
    • "15 Points" point 5 says:
      5. Develop and rehearse a daily plan of thinking and acting by which you will live that day relying on God, regardless of what may upset you or how hard the old urge to rely on self may hit you.

      My Plan is this:

      1. read "15 Points"
      2. Meditate for 5 min on the attributes of God

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:"

11:00pm:
THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

Faster morning, more focused.
Not let my iPod reminders get clogged, and get me down.
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 attacked my double-starred tasks and did a bunch of them.
I recorded my time for the last 3 days.
I had a great time w/ sons at club.
I arranged a bunch of planning for tmrw and fri.
I meditated on God's attributes several times and it took me out of my own head-funk into God-space and service.

5 hours of work

2 hours of reading unrelated stuff

30 mins of cleaning

That will be all
