Today has been a good day. I got up early and worked on my recovery and scripture study. I also studied about grace and how that all works.
I was grateful for all the work I had today and the meetings I had with my sales mentor, with Karen, and then with Kasey for the house. Kasey is a good friend and gave us great advice on finishing the bathroom.
After Kasey left, I worked on Brent Richardson calendar revisions and did a few more follow up calls before starting the crazy afternoon of picking up Madi, then going to meet with Gordon, then back to Den Meeting, then to Scouts.
I was grateful to have a good scout meeting where the boys worked on the Moviemaking merit badge. Camden did a great job teaching the merit badge to the other boys and there was decent participation.
I’m grateful for my calling. I’m grateful I’m still working with Becky in Webelos (since it’s really pretty easy).
I’m grateful that, when I got home, Beck and I were able to talk about the day, share our feelings about what we’re reading, and be honest with one another.
I’m grateful for this first day of working the steps of the program with a sponsor. I’ll admit, I’m a bit nervous – hoping I can keep it up, but I do feel the desire to do this of my own free will and choice and know that all I can do is take things one day at a time.
I’m grateful for a day of recovery.
I’m grateful I was able to submit my will to God today and didn’t really feel tempted at all in the areas of my addiction. I’m grateful that Becky was able to talk with Mandy about her religious decisions and where she’s at in her life.
I’m grateful that I was able to recognize feelings I had today when meeting with Gordon. I think it’s interesting how professional counselors react when the topic of the 12 step program comes up. At times I feel they treat it as a threat to their business – I mean, it is a free program that competes directly with the service they’re offering.
Anyway, I will continue to press forward and look forward to another day in recovery.
