Monday 26 December 16 days sober RR100% God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courgae to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen. I want to double up on the prayers today and say the prayer of St Francis of Assisi which I think is brilliant: Lord, make me 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. Lord, grant that I may seek to comfort, rather than to be comforted. Seek to understand, rather than 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. Well, yesterday was Christmas Day. I actually felt in a low mood for a lot of the day. I did my best recovery/being social wise but there was no way I could get to a 12 step meeting yesterday. The day before I tried to get to 2 but one I was the only one there and the other one was cancelled. Friday and Thursday had family gatherings so couldn't get to a meeting. Wednesday maybe I should have got to one in the meeting but the sum of all this is that the last 12 step meeting I have been to was on Tuesday and I think that is starting to add up. So today my plan is to get to at least two 12 step meetings, and maybe even 3 (even if I have to travel out of my town of residence to find them). |
