This morning I had to jump out of bed as our alarm was not set.  I had to find a quiet moment alone for prayer.  I thought of a practical term for it, "spiritual alignment."

I talked and thought alot about Charlie Sheen and Moammar Ghaddafi again this morning.  They provided me food for thought although some of it bordered on gossip (gotta watch that).

Watching Charlie's tirade stage made me think of my story.  I was also reading that MHR is back in business with speaker meetings and part of my story came into focus.

In 1986 I read the AA book which inspired me to some contemporary interpretation but I judged AA or outside help as for the old and the lame.

In 1998 I went to treatment (where MH came and spoke) and was inspired to accept sobriety as desirable but judged AA as for the dysfunctional, low functioning, and incorrigible.

In 2002 I accepted AA and the program,  I had a psychic change and spiritual experience, but relapsed.

In 2004 I discovered humility as the answer to keeping it. I learned to put first things first.

Thanks be to God.
