todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
for the principles of Honesty, Open-Mindedness and Willingness
that my high-class problems are problems nonetheless -- to me
that I can see my part in those problems, thanks to the steps of AA
that all of those problems have solutions, although I may not like those solutions
that I can take credit for my successes and blame for my failures
that my sometimes turbulent relationship with Hayden remains pretty much rock solid in spite of me -- this relationship is by far the most difficult thing I have ever attempted

Your quote on self righteous anger really hits home with me...I suffer terribly with this and pray about it DAILY. The character assassination part is something I've not really considered before. Damn...I think I'm having an epiphany(sp)!!!
Those things ought to be mandatory...
I put Cheerios in the toilet bowl to teach my sons proper aim.
Have a great day.
Dave, your posts leave me so much to think about.
Just don't throw a toothpick in the urinal so the bug can pole vault out!
I can take blame all right, it's the compliments (success) I have a tough time dealing with!
AWWW, the last three letters of word ver spell - lov!!!
Having relationships are difficult but so good and so much a part of me. I hear what you say about self-rightous anger. Anger is a killer for me. I stay away from it. Learning how to deal with anger is part of my recovery.
Leave it to true love to humble us and try ironing out our defects.
I have never been in such a solid bond as I am with Bob.I think once two people fall truly in love Dave,the willingness to work stuff out with healthy boundaries just keeps bringing our hearts closer to one another.What a gift in living well!!
