My wife was gone today again to a funeral.  My mom was here helping with the kids.   Nevertheless, I was disappointed with the rate of my progress.  I had to deliberately work for acceptance and a positive outlook over my school work.  

We had fun in the interludes and meals today.  My mom got to spend some great time wit the kids.

A friend in sobriety called today when I was preparing dinner.  I should have made the effort to take the call.  I never called him back but intend to do so tomorrow.

After dropping my mom off I was driving home alone on a country road looking at the gray sky when suddenly I felt the urge to go and have a few drinks.  The weird thing is that it lasted about 30 seconds.  I was completely aware of it and was just astounded at how that happens.  I just turned my thoughts away, actually it just went away, but I need to pray about it.

I didn't go drink and I ran some productive errands and made it home safely.   I did my quiz that completes my work that was due monday.

Thanks be to God.
