Today I got extremely busy and my boss suggested I ask for help. I was resentful that everyone expects so much from me. I was afraid that I forgot something critical. I had to seek gratitude, acceptance, and courage.

Today at our noon meeting we read from the story "Acceptance Was The Answer". I realized that the two paragraphs about acceptance draw a parallel between chemical sobriety and emotional sobriety. The paragraphs preceding that all dealt with priorities and denial.

I was sick today but I was grateful to be healthy enough to make it through the day.

I started out "feeling" that going to the noon meeting was execssive again and had a shift in thinking in which I found initiative to go. I was glad that I did because there were few people there and I felt like a contirbutor. I have found this conception of meeting attendance as an endeavor that is thge most important and interesting thing in the world, self control.

I think I forgot that last night I got to speak to an old friend in sobriety at church when I picked up my son from religious ed.

Tonight I found my son's drawing from his church class in which he drew Holy Water, Holy Blood, Holy Bread, and Holy Cross.

Tonight I got to do some service work on my fellowship's area website.

Thanks be to God for a fruitful day.
