Today I went back to work with a good deal of confidence and freedom from fear. I had a busy and productive day and felt better and better as the day passed.

This evening I got to take both of my sons for a haircut and dinner afterward. It was the first time that I ever took them together and one of the first times that the three of us did anything together alone besides church. It was a nice little adventure and it was really cool to watch them interact with each other and me. This was something that I had anticipated a long time ago but forgot that I was waiting for. It was an awesome surprise gift!

Afterward, I got to go to the Friday night big book study meeting. When I got there there was no one there and some things were out of place and a light was on in a back room. I got kinda spooked and I quickly decided that the meeting would be canceled as the time to start approached and no one came. I called my sponsor and talked for a little while and then some people showed up.

We had a great meeting, we read "" from the personal stories. I thought the story was very much lie an addict story and related to much of it. There was a particular part about the many "God things" that had happened to the author that got me thinking about the recent God things that have happened to me recently. I thought about how that meeting coming together was one of those "God things".

Thanks be to God for my recovery!
