Doing pretty good lately and I feel pretty good. It certainly is worth it to stay sober and to live a recovery lifestyle. I’m grateful that God is keeping me sober today.
I wrote some thoughts during lunch. I needed to remind myself of some realities that I have to acknowledge and deal with on a daily basis.
And I like doing bullet points:
· I can’t take any lust hits – no second glances, not 1 second of fantasy or deviant thoughts, no mindless clicks on the internet
· I have to connect with another addict every day whether I’m sober or not
· I have to connect with God via meaningful prayer and religious/spiritual study daily
· I have to have God on board and be completely grateful for every day I’m sober.
· I need to read recovery literature daily.
· I need to attend a recovery meeting on any night that I can.
· I need to surrender and be aware of all negative emotions including: boredom, frustration, fear, stress, loneliness
· I need to replace those with positive emotions: optimism, positivity, humility
Anyway, that’s where I’m at today.
Meeting with the Bishop tonight. I’m excited. I have no fears to tell the Bishop anything. No one ever need to feel so.
Wow. That overwhelms me. Are you successful with all of this? If so, you give me hope.
