Pause and acknowledge each small step you take. You have achieved more than you give yourself credit for.

clement ci - day 270 attempting abstinence, 190 from self

clement - 6 Aug 2013 - 12:08pm

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:"

  • I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety of relying on God 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

When we retire at night, we constructively review our day (BB).
  • Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?
  • Do we owe an apology?
  • Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once?
  • Were we kind and loving toward all?
  • What could we have done better?
  • Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?
  • Or, were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream of life?

 Show up (done), exer, plan, follow through

Have been resisting showing up, so this is a step/thanks Mole

"We can learn
to accept problems as an inevitable part of life. We can learn to solve
problems. We can learn to trust our ability to solve problems. We can
learn to identify which problems are trying to lead us in a new
direction, and which simply ask for solving.

We
can learn to focus on the solution rather than on the problem, and
maintain a positive attitude toward life and the inevitable flow of
problems and solutions.

Today, I
will learn to trust solutions, rather than be victimized by problems. I
will not use problems to prove I am helpless, picked on, or martyred. I
will not point to my problems to prove how awful life is. I will learn
to trust the flow of problems and solutions. God, help me solve the
problems I can solve today. Help me let go of the rest. Help me believe
in my ability to tackle and solve problems. Help me trust the flow. For
each problem, there is a solution."
From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie
