Today at noon we read about step 4 out of the Twelve & Twelve in our meeting. I saw that the thread of balking at personal inventory was a continuous theme throughout the chapter. I found my experience in several of the paragraphs.

- I didn't think I needed in moral inventory
- I didn't think I needed the help of sponsor
... I drank again
- I balked at continuing to take inventory after doing it initially
- I resisted the idea that I needed to continue and be accountable
... I drank again
- I gradually drifted back into managing my disturbances
- I took my inventory but didn't review it with a sponsor
... I drank again

This evening I got to go to my son's team party at the pizza and games place.

Thanks be to God for a great coach, a great group of parents, a great group of kids, and a great season.
