6 days sober

God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen.
Was listening to some 12 step speaker material yesterday. Going to try to follow some advice from it today. It means keeping a running inventory of whenever my personal serenity/calm is disturbed. This doesn't mean taking a mental note of the specific occurance/person/whatever that is "to blame" but rather the feeling, be it anger/resentment/whatever feeling that has caused a blockage to my serenity. This is because my only interest in doing this is becoming undisturbed. Being disturbed is my problem. So just take a mental note of the fact my serenity has been disturbed and let this feeling go/discharge it. By doing this regularly it will stop a huge charge of disturbance building up.
