This morning I prayed and meditated.

Today I got up and went to work and had a sane and productive day.

Today I thought about the movie Juno that I got to watch with my wife and son. I realized that my wife was one of those babies like the one in the movie. I found a new conception of her mother in identification with Juno. I found a heartfelt sense of gratitude and appreciation for the tough choices she had to make. I realized the same for my wife's parents.

At the noon meeting we read from page 101 to the first page of To Wives. There were a lot of people at the meeting. I thought of the people who got sober and showed me that sobriety came from a power that worked within me, not a program that shielded me from alcohol. I thought of my wife who got help for herself and quit enabling me to kill myself.

I got too upset upset this afternoon over losing at ping pong.

This evening was chaotic.

Thanks be to God for this moment of peace.
