This morning I woke up thinking about the first three of the twelve steps.

Step one should culminate at the point where a spiritual experience and a psychic change is needed.
Two major points of consideration of step 2 should be concepts of a power:
- A power greater than myself
- A power that will restore us to sanity

My will is my decision making and my value system on which they are based(my wants, my needs, my fears).
My Life is my value system in ALL the areas of my life not just my alcoholism (or addiction). It is important to turn over all areas of my life because the of problem spiritual malady must be solved in order for the alcoholism (or addiction) to be solved.

I got the boys off to early mass and although we were a little late it was a particularly joyful event, especially communion. All throughout the rest of the day I have had the music of the psalm in my head.

In the afternoon I went to the treatment center meeting. I was considerably disappointed that I and a friend there told too long of a drug-alogue. But, upon meditation tonight I realized that I did just tell a story to make a point and I did read out of the Big Book first and tie the story to the reading. I also stayed within the time frame. I should have talked to my friend about it. A new guy came with us and did a great job.

In the evening I went to visit with my aunt and cousin. I brought them over to my house to meet my family. It was nice to be able to do this and be at peace and ease.

Thanks be to God for this day.
