This morning I remembered the scripture reading from the conversion of Saint Paul from yesterday. I remembered the part where he said that scales fell from his eyes. I remembered how Bill W. said that scales of pride and prejudice fell from his eyes. I connected this with the Big Book reading last night where I could not see any relevance in the chapter and my eyes were opened to what I could not see.

Today at noon I got to take a ride with my oldest son and register him for baseball. This afternoon I got to spend some time outside with the kids and we practiced baseball.

Tonight I got to go to a meeting and hear Ms. Dot tell her story. I was amazed to learn that she got sober in CA in 1985. She had a message that moved us all. Toward the end she told a poem that she wrote on the eve of her sobriety. The poem was so inspiring that I had a vision of her as a powerful angel with wings.

After the meeting I met with a new guy who is just like me in a lot of ways and he seems very willing. I hope and pray that he gets it for his family and himself but also because I hope to make a new friend.
