Today I was as secure and confident at work as I have been for a long time. Then at the end of the day I caught a major mistake that I made. Fear gripped me immediately. I was able to set it aside and take appropriate action. I may get out of it ok but I must still find willingness to change and ask God to remove it.

Tonight I got to chair our Big Book study meeting.

I picked up my 5 year keytag tonight.

I thought about how I still feel like re-newcomer. I thought about how I couldn't stay sober more than 6 months. Then I completely gave my self to "this simple program" every day and I made a year.

I feel that the emphasis of the keytag is not time. The keytag to me means that the spiritual life has not been a theory, I have lived it... one day at a time, again for 1 more year.

I think the keytag should read "Completely given to Him".

Thanks be to God for his power to restore me to sanity.
