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.
Thy will, not mine be done.
Amen

Remember everyday: Keep repeating “God’s will” OUT LOUD as much as you can. Even if you can only whisper or mouth it. Failing all that say it in your head but whatever the case constantly keep saying it!

Yesterday I went to a meeting. I did some outreach calls where I pushed someone who didn’t have a sponsor to get a sponsor, encouraged a newcomer to come to a 2nd meeting, and asked someone how they were getting on with their stepwork, and when they told me about a difficult situation they encountered at work on Friday I asked them if they had asked their sponsor about it, and what their sponsor had said to do (I should have asked them if they had taken this action, and how thourough they had been about taking this action). Yesterday I also spent time working the steps which involved actually doing written tasks my sponsor had set for me to do.
Want to repeat this from yesterday’s entry:
“God is telling me that I need to push other people harder in the program down the 12 steps, asking them how many meetings they go to, asking them what actions they have taken for recovery and spirituality that day. I can’t worry about treading on egg shells or affecting someone’s pride. I know I want other people to push me harder down the 12 steps etc. and I need to start thinking about helping other people in their recovery more. I think it will help me be less self-centred and less thinking about myself.”
