Wherever you go, there you are.

Tonight at the meeting I was asked to bring the topic. I didn't really want to because I get to do it too much. I suggested the chair ask a person who never has been asked. He declined so I went ahead and did it.

So as I started to think about it, I was inspired to ask her to help me. She gave me a great idea so I read from page 101. "...any scheme of combating alcoholism which proposes to shield the sick man from temptation is doomed...". As everyone shared I was given a different perspective on this. I finished the meeting with a share but might thoughts fine tuned a little later.

My restoration to sanity is an "inside job". The "shield from temptation" has to happen within. I have to be made "safe and protected" by God's power internally not protect and save myself by attempting to control my external circumstances. And I can't do the inside job through self-help or affirmation or therapy, the shield doesn't "come from within but it "happens" there.

Today I got a little resentful when I went to pay at the store and Christie had my card. I tried not to be resentful but I don't remember if I prayed like I should have. I couldn't resist being snipey about it. I need to make amends to her. Later today I was grateful for her.

Today was another blessed day.
