Just the facts


working the membership desk yesterday at one of the finest GLBT recovery centers in the world,

Lambda Center - Houston

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I am a single, middle-aged, gay male who is an alcoholic-in-recovery and I am happy about all that stuff

that I'm anal-retentive and obsessive-compulsive and can handle it

for a greater daily awareness of my shortcomings and the desire not to participate in them

that I'm open-minded and willing to change (when necessary)

that I must remain teachable in recovery or else I'll become unreachable

A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow. -Charlotte Bronte

daave - this is the earliest you will probably ever hear from me.
Man it's the middle of the night.
Really like your last gratitude
on today's list.
A quote from page 31 of August's Grapevine "You've never been sober today before."
Enjoy your day.
