Last night I woke up and felt the sickest I have felt all week. I thought for sure that I would not make it to work. Today was the best day physically that I have had.

Today I thought alot about the anger class we had last night.

I was not able to go to the noon meeting but I did get to go to a meeting tonight. There were only a few people there and we just talked and shared. The thing that stuck with me was that a guy shared about the absolute imperative that he do step 11. and the difference it has made in his sobriety this time. He referred specifically to the instructions on page 86.

Tonight I had a real hard time getting to this review. I got angry when my wife kept delaying getting the kids to bed. My wife got angry because of my persistence in getting the kids to bed and finally because I just came and sat to do this when it got late. Then I accidentally restarted my computer and I got angry for that. While I was waiting I was able to get completely centered and have a few good prayers. Then when I got started my wife came in and insisted on talking and joking with me and I got angry about that.

My recovery program is my responsibility. God save me from being angry, Thy will not mine be done. I accept that obstacles to practicing my program will happen even when I am willing to do what I am supposed to do. I surrender my ambitions for my program to go off without a hitch. I pray for the willingness to persevere in geting the job done.

Thanks be to God for acceptance, surrender, and willingness.
