Indexing – Something Different to Help with Addiction

One of the questions Becky had asked me to think about before was “How is this time going to be different than all the other times?”

Ironically, I opened up LDS.org and found this image:

Naturally, I clicked on it and watched this video, actually getting teary a few times.

I felt immediately that this is something I can do, this is something that will be different, this is something that I will be excited about, this is serving others and using my internet skills to consecrate my time and talents.

I don’t know that I’ve ever indexed before so I then watched this video:

I then went here: https://familysearch.org/indexing/

I logged in with my LDS account, downloaded the program, and got started by watching this video: http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Local_Support/FamilySearchIndexing/en/demos/FS_index.html?v=http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Local_Support/FamilySearchIndexing/en/demos/IndexQuickStart!

I’ve now officially done my first 68 records!

I showed the video to Becky and we both got a bit teary, I’m not even sure why. I just feel like this is an answer to prayers on how I can do things different this time in my recovery – at least one additional way to fortify myself.

I’m so grateful for Becky.

I’m so grateful for my family.

I’m so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I love how I feel in recovery!

Hasta manana!
