clement ci - day 291 attempting abstinence, 211 from self

clement - 26 Aug 2013 - 11:27pm

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?

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)

Day 1 again for PA Day 4 for DA

Unstuck-ing - 26 Aug 2013 - 8:17am

Thanks to Jalla and Mole - may you have days walkng close to your Powerful one!

I admit that I am powerless over my procrastination and debt and that my life had become unmanageable.  I came to believe that a Power greater than myself could restore me to sanity and I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God.

 "Its not about the tasks - its about listening to the moment and going with the flow of the spirit.

Its not about the money, its about listening to the simplicity of need and contentment.

I too slumped yesterday with my "unplanned time" so back to day one although successful with money (D4).

THINGS I DID WELL TODAY

wrote the letter at last, and also an email I was putting off 

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

I'm very. Fidgety at the moment, researching instead of writing, slithering off task, also allowing things in the house to stagnate. 

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR  

friendship with G and an enjoyable evening. calm at P, able to gather self.
