This Sunday morning we went to early mass so that my wife could fill in for the children's liturgy class.  There has not been anyone to do the early mass so I was grateful for this opportunity.  I was glad that we were able to get up and make it on time.

After mass I tried to find out if my friend was ok but could not.  I did find out that he threatened to hurt me if I was sent to him.  I had selfish thoughts about how this affects me.

In the afternoon I spent some time practice throwing and catching a soft ball with my youngest son. Being autistic he has a physical coordination issues and can not catch a fly ball.  I need to do this more regularly with him.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting.  We read "To Employers" from the Big Book.  The thing I saw the most was how critical it is to understand the disease concept and to differentiate this from a bad habit.  I saw that the greatest struggle was in treating this problem like other problems and not understanding how willpower and standard approaches do not work for real alcoholism.  I saw how it was important not to neglect the problem.

Thanks be to God.
