Well, today has been another trying day at work. We had a meeting with Dane I. and Dave G. and it was very interesting how they presented their case. It was basically a “You ‘buy in’ to what we are doing, or you find somewhere else to work…” I maintained my composure pretty well I […]

Resource: Step 4 Inventory Template
I know some of the feelings I felt when I was working on Step 4. I was afraid to dig up old dirt. I wasn’t sure HOW to do Step 4 “correctly” It seemed to be all over the place It was mostly negative stuff and sexual stuff I didn’t really know where to start […]
The Trip to Idaho
Today has been a great day so far. We have worked in the garden as a family, cut up all the vegetables, and made tin foil dinners together with charcoal. It was hard seeing Grandma Coffman today: she’s really weak, tired, and I’m pretty sure she has no idea who I am (although she seems […]
Company Concerns
Yesterday was a really tough day for resentments at work. Today is going to be a better day. One thing I realized yesterday is that music has a powerful influence on mind set and thoughts, for better or for worse. I’ve been listening to a new radio station that has songs from the 80’s and […]
Resentments Today
Well, part of my issue today may be that I stayed up pretty late last night working on a review of Step 7. I did diffuse some of those issues this morning by mopping the entire kitchen, dining room and bathroom floor while Becky took Caleb to a kindergarten assessment. The idea that service really […]
Reviewing Step 7 in Detail
As I mentioned in my post the other day, my one main goal this week is to review Step 7. To start, I’m re-reading Step 7 and highlighting points I feel I can work on to complete it (or at least move on to Step 8): The humble heart we developed in step 6 brought […]
It’s Late But Want to Be Consistent
It’s a lot later than I’d like to admit (12:25 a.m.). I’ve been reading a few articles, watching a few motivational videos and doing not much of anything productive. Today was a pretty good day. I did look at a few friends pics again on Facebook and am thinking seriously about deleting most of my […]
Fun Saturday with the Family
First off, today was a great day with Becky and the kids. We got up pretty early (thanks to Chloe and the 2 bandits), had a bit of breakfast, and then headed out to get our tire fixed. About an hour later, we had TWO tires fixed and decided to go from there to Grotto […]
Better Day Today!
Well, first off, I really feel like there was success today at work! We had our regular DL meeting in the morning and there were definitely some opportunities to “open a can of worms”. Before I went in to the meeting I said a quick little prayer asking for help to not rile things up […]
Consistency vs. Complacency
Tonight was a great night at group. It was nice to see Mathew, Steve and a few others there that I hadn’t seen for a few weeks. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to talk directly to Sterling, although I really liked what he shared about frustrations that lead to potentially acting out – so […]
