Daily Progress

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that Mom's getting over the "crud" (this is a big deal because she is not able to cough to clear her throat)

that even though I got severely stressed (nearly bent out of shape) yesterday morning, I was able to let it go, once again

for the magic of the program of AA recovery

to be asked to share a tidbit of my AA story -- I chose to focus on what happened when I hit bottom

that when asked to share my story (see above), I only had 5 minutes to think about it instead of days and days to consider what to say

that I usually don't mind being a ham (and cheese)

for the importance of practicing Step 6 on a daily basis for as long as I live; if and when I stop doing it, I can add at least one more character defect to my list

for Scott's sexy voice (This Too Shall Pass)

to be asked to serve on another recovery-related committee; of course I said YES!

that my plate is now full and I have all the utensils I need

that I am not too overly envious of my UK friend Liz going to Australia for 6 weeks (bitch!)
