This morning I made a decision for our family to take the boys to mass early. My wife grumbled but I feel that it was best for us so that we could take the truck with the working air conditioner.

I made a decision to go to the treatment center. My wife grumbled about this but I didn't respond or antagonize her. I have been reacting less to her grumbling in the past couple of days, this has given me a lot of peace.

The other guy that showed up really does a great job of carrying the message, I was grateful to get to work with him today. He brought a topic on the great experience of fellowship in AA/CA. Afterward I got to play two really intense games of table tennis.

I had some new thoughts about how I once got sober by a wake up call and willpower. This was in Junior High School. I am not sure what the point of this is but I think it has to do with how I drank and used not how much or how long. Maybe that should be the approach to my story. I could talk about how i felt and what this did to me and just lead up to my first sobriety and then summarize the rest as the extent of my delusion.

I got to have a nice little cookout and watch a ball game this afternoon. I got impatient with the kids but I apologized and showed them a lot of love.

Thanks be to God.
