Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat and body aches. I was functional though and I had a busy day. I remember having several things to write about but I felt physically worse at the end of the day and I never did review these. Now I don't remember what they were.

I remember thinking about the daily scriptures and the memorial of Saint Martha. But, I don't think this was what I was thinking about.

Now I remember that I had to run an errand in the evening and I was driving through a part of town that triggered memories of using. As I was thinking of these I realized that the inside of my arm felt hot, I had a reaction in my crotch, and my stomach felt tight. I also sensed that my mind felt troubled. I realized that in my sub conscious my mind was conflicted by the desire to use and the commitment to sanity. At that moment I realized that I needed to return a phone call and talk to that guy about these thoughts. He reminded me to ask God to remove them.

In the evening I had a slight resentment at my wife for giving candy to the kids as a reward and for giving it to them late at night. She went to the store to get it and I put the kids to bed which made her angry at me.

I am grateful to God for this day.
