Last night as I fell asleep I recall that I was having a panic dream. As usual their was an entity and entities in my dream. But my fear was more of an emotion than a thought. All through the night I kept waking up with a hymn from church going through my head... "glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth..." In the morning I woke up so late that I jumped out of bed and never made my prayers. But I felt like I was and had been in constant prayer through the hymn. I never felt disconnected today.

I got to go to the noon meeting, our topic was the chapter "To Emloyers". I thought about what this chapter teaches me.

My Relationship with my Employer - By reading about the perspective of the employer, about the misunderstanding of the disease and how I can be misunderstood. What kind of treatment I might be equitable for an ex-problem drinker, or an active alcoholic. Where the boundaries lie of how I might impose on them or they might treat.

My Relationship with my Co-workers - Much of the description of the relationship with the alcoholic could apply not just fo rthe employer but also the coworker. Particularly when dealing with a sick alcoholic. Again this may be about where the boundaries lie of how I might impose on them or they might treat.

My Relationship with my Job - I must see that my relationship to my career may need to change particularly in how I may need to restructure my priorities and raise up the spiritual life above my career life. I may need to accept a less prominent position or less lofty goals.
