Today is Holy Thursday. I regret that I didn't make a greater effort to observe the masses of the Easter Triduum.

At noon I went to the Central Group meeting. We read the last two pages of step one and all of Tradition One. The tradition was just too relevant to what happened last Friday. It didn't matter whether I was right or the other guy was right. What matters is that I let it go and don't try to control teh conscience of teh group or what people think. I don't have to try and change anything or to get on a soapbox or influence people one on one. I just have to continue to be a good member of the group and do my own program. Our unity comes from personal recovery and group purpose.

This morning I thought of my old way of life as my old world view. It was not just my old way of living that was the problem but the vacancy of life as I used to see it. My outlook used to be that life's a bitch and then you die. Today life is a dance if you just take the steps.

Today i found out that my water heater has a poor design and we can't get the part to repair it until we apply for benefits of a class action lawsuit. That means we have no hot water for weeks or buy a new water heater. I tried rigging up a part that I bought that doesn't fit and it worked long enough for us all to take a warm shower.

Before that we all went to the park and had a great time on the first day of spring.
