This morning when I woke up to the alarm my mind came to a decision about a task at hand for spring baseball.  I realized that in my pre-waking moments my mind had started working to manage the tasks in my life.  Later in the morning in thinking about this it occurred to me that I have a hyper-tasking mind..

     I must be entering a good moon cycle because I had focused and effective prayer and woke up energized.  Thanks be to God. 

I had a couple of constructive thoughts this morning. 

    First I thought about the step 2 reflections that I would like to write.  I thought about how the first would be a summary of the step as listed.   Then I would reflect on each phrase sequentially grouped at the beginning, middle, and end of the month.  Then I would select various quotations and key concepts and sort them according to which phrase they correlate best with in the days in between.  I started by reflecting on "We came to believe...".  I will place my thoughts on this in the scs blog.

     The second thing I thought about was in relation to sponsorship, specifically the introduction.   I thought that there are 3 A's that I could use as a mnemonic to call to mind what to tell them.  AAA - being sponsored is about attitude, accountability, and action.   The attitude is the HOW of recovery, the sponsee should be informed that Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness are the keys to being successful and he should place all his will power and efforts to maintain or seek this attitude.  The accountability is making the daily phone calls to the sponsor and to another addict.  The Action is to do the reading and writing assignments and to meet again with the sponsor.
