Wed 4 January
3 weeks, 4 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.
....................
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 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.
……………………………

I think from now on I will always set an alarm to get up in the morning, even on days where I do not have a specific thing to get up for. I'm finding that when I don't and I have a lie in/snooze in the morning it leads to ruminating and analyzing thoughts and often negative/resentment type thinking first thing in the morning when I'm lying in bed. I think it's better to have that clean break from sleep to getting stuck into the day.

Went to a 12 step meeting yesterday so want to continue my plan of going to a meeting 4 days in a row by going to a meeting today as well.
