Today I was able to focus better on work.

Today I was able to behave more professionally and avoid gossipy talk.

At noon today I got to go to the 12 step meeting. We read from the chapter, "There is a Solution". The pages we read talked about the we and the admission. I talked about some things that were clear cut. But, I also spoke about some parts that were less obvious but have been important in the process for me, mainly how the family is part of the we and how that helped me with my willingness. I felt less confident about how helpful these things were and I think it came across in my voice.

A guy who is new shared very poignantly about how he is undergoing a shift in his life and he thanked us for everything that we share and he reassured us that it is all helpful to him. He shared a personal experience that brought me to tears and sent my gratitude off the charts.

This evening I was able to be kinder to my wife and kids.

Thanks be to God for gifts of the spirit.
