Last night I was up late doing stepwork with a guy at the club. He had his inventory prepared and we talked about the principles of the inventories and we looked at a couple of items in each inventory. I was able to get him from 4 to 7 in a couple of hours.

This caused me to be late to bed and not get in an evening review. Today I thought again that I have been missing way too many reviews. I also observed that lately I've been having a lot of thoughts of cutting down on my sobriety activities. I also noticed that an attitude has crept into me that perhaps I have been making sobriey too big of an issue in my life and that I should devote more thought life and time to the other more normal aspects of my life.

Today I went to my fellowship's area meeting with this attitude. On the way I thought about how I should drop the gsr position I hold. I thought about what a hassle it seemed to have to draft a report for my servant position and how mad my wife got about that she has to endure another day alone with the kids. When I left the meeting I had a complete change of attitude. I saw how so many new people are willing to step p but there still aren't enough people doing the work of supporting the area. I saw how much of a contribution I can make and how much it helps our newest members even though I still feel inexperienced. I felt renewed in my enthusiasm.

When I got home my wife was in good spirits. We had a great dinner and I stayed home and let her go shopping. She told me what a great day that she and the kids had. We all watched the UT game and jump and yelled and sang and acted crazy.

Next week our area is having a Unity Event at a campground on the Guadalupe River. I just found out that the first day we have a birthday party and the second day my wife has a fundraiser. I pray to find acceptance and not blame anyone if I can't go.

My sponsor and brother in Christ is in the hospital with a serious intestinal condition and infection. I pray that he gets through this and doesn't have too much pain and is restored to health.

Grateful
