Monday 9 January 4 weeks, 2 days sober (30 days) RR 100% 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 … Remember for today: Giving the world 5 free passes to be wrong in advance today. As you go feelings inventory/awareness. …… 30 days sober! Busy weekend but in a good way. Definitely prioritising an early night tonight though above all. Got to 5 twelve step meetings last week (Monday – Sunday) and the thing is it’s become a case that going to these meetings is now the thing I enjoy most in life! Important to never get complacent though and if there comes a time when I don’t feel like going to a meeting to go anyway. |

Sunday 8 January 4 weeks 1 day sober (29 days) RR 100% 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 … God, Make my an instrument of thy peace! That where there is hatred, I may bring love. That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness. That where there is discord, I may bring harmony. That where there is error, I may bring truth. That where there is doubt, I may bring faith. That where there is despair, I may bring hope. That where there are shadows, I may bring light. That where there is sadness, I may bring joy. God, grant that I may seek to comfort, rather than to be comforted. Seek to understand, rather than to be understood. Seek to love, rather than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. …… Nice day with friends yesterday. Didn’t get to a 12 step meeting yesterday, but as of now I have realised that 12 step meetings are the thing I enjoy doing more than anything! They aren’t any kind of chore! I’m going to one today that I went to once before about a month ago and haven’t been there since so really looking forward to that. |

Saturday 7 January 4 weeks sober (28 days) RR 100% 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 Woo 4 weeks sober! Similar to something I said in an earlier blog, it feels like it’s been a long 4 weeks but in a good way – as in I feel like I have really grown a lot spiritually during this time by working my 12 step programme. Important not to get complacent though and essential to continue working the programme and maintain my efforts! |

Friday 6 January 3 weeks, 6 days sober (27 days) RR 100% 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. There have been some really powerful shares at the last 2 meetings I’ve been to. When I returned home last night I can honestly say I felt the presence of God. I was just feeling to happy, from deep within me. It was 10 times more powerful and real than any temporary buzz I have gained from acting out which I know is not real relief. So yeah, want to continue getting to as many meetings as is humanly possible. Remember – 5 free passes for the world today - Take spot check feelings inventory as you go. |

Thurs 5 Jan 3 weeks, 5 days sober. RR 100% 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. Just listened to a song called “If we are the body” by Casting Crows which is a Christian song. It’s really put me in a good mood for the day. Just want to refresh my mind that I am giving the world 5 chances in advance to be “wrong” today! And to do my spot check feelings inventory as I go through the day. And just to try to be nice and helpful/caring to people and not focus on if people’s working lives are easier/better than mine or if life is unfair and all that rubbish. |
