Today I had some thoughts again that I may make too big of an issue of sobriety in my life. Then I remembered about the celebrity rehab that I saw this weekend and how little effect that the professional service seemed to have.

I went to the noon meeting newly motivated to be on Team Sobriety.

We had a decent evening until it was threatened by an episode of disobedience from my oldest son. He had a fit when my wife told him he couldn't go outside after dinner. I asked him to stop and then had to give him punishment which he refused. I had to systematically raise the punishment and eventually send him to bed. I was able to do this without yelling an losing emotional control. He cried for a whil but eventually surrendered and became willing to do his punishment and we had a happy evening from then on.

Other than that it was pretty routine.

Thanks be to God.
