This Thursday I got to go to the noon meeting and read about objections to the 4th step. I remembered how I didn't think I needed a moral inventory and how I couldn't see that it could possibly have anything to do with my sobriety. In looking at my reasons for drinking I just thought that I liked to party and that I wasn't trying to fill some need or drown my sorrows or drink to cope.

I made it through this day free from any resentments making me irritable.
I made it through this day without have feeling restless and thinking something was missing.
I made it through this day without having any emotional disturbance recur and foster discontent.

I got to go to the ballfield this evening and have practice with my son and accept his efforts, appreciate his successes, and enjoy our time together.

I didn't have to react to my wife's gripes and I looked at my own selfishness.

I got to have another sober day full of joy and peace with friends at work and at home.

Thanks be to God.
