clement ci - day 296 attempting abstinence, 216 from self

clement - 31 Aug 2013 - 10:41pm

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)

THINGS I DID WELL TODAY

this morning was fine , but also defined. Did declutter but not much else- so I guess that's three quarters of the day. And this evening was fun. 

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER 

 two things I was planning got cancelled this afternoon, and instead of doing other things I could have got done that would have been a real relief I just went into stagnation. It makes me realise how much more effectively I operate if my tasks are bookended. 

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR 

being invited for a lovely impromptu meal. Perfectly timed, rescued from myself .
