Been a very stressful week for me since Monday in business and had to work real hard on 6&7 but the main thing is even though the same problems are there everyday got a little bit better through acceptance & knowing I'm powerless over certain situations.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing, which means staying in the day and keep focused on recovery because with out that I would have nothing.

Absolutely with you on staying in the day and there is no purpose in worry or wishing for things to be different, as you often say "It is what it is" and that certainly applies in our daily dealings in life. I know I need to look for courage to change the things I can though - as long as there is a beneficial aspect to that change.

I don't believe in accepting all things and accepting all change either - each case should be carefully considered to its specific circumstances.

My week has been busy one way and another, but productive and I am feeling calm and generally happy. I wish everyone here a good and sober day.

Yes Gail " it is what it is " but when your in the heat of the moment in certain situations I'm talking for me I can forget that BUT today I can identify whatever it is and get back on my square.

We are defiantly on the same page on accepting all things as it say somewhere " we are not doormats " and the courage to change. That's why I said "certain situations "

I think we would have to be perfect to never forget in the heat of the moment! I am still busy learning and will have to continue to do so to the end of my days, but that's okay. Life is nothing but a learning experience to me because I am just as fallible as the next person. Knowledge comes a poor second in the light of life experience.

Great day gjm, just going with the flow. Had a good rest today and had a great training session tonight. xxx

Good mornin sunshine! I am contented, blessed, smiley & happy. Everything is exactly as it should be in my life right now. I am at peace with my world today, thank you God! :) I know that could change tomorrow (and likely will), but I'll try to keep my head right so I can handle whatever comes my way!! Hope everyone has a great day!

Hell HC that's for sure. A good friend of 30 yrs of recovery told me early on in good day's and bad they " both shall pass " but since we know that we know how to handle it. ( most of the time )

Is it Saturday yet?

a ok week but all over the place...AGAIN grrrrrrrrrr

Doin good here, Gary. Life is better on its own terms and not mine! (o;

God grant me the surenity to accept the things I cannot change ( like YOU)
the courage to change the things I can (like ME)
and the wisdom to know its ME!!!

Life is always wonderful till I try to take control back. I have the power to restart my day if it starts off bad, do a reset, change MY attitude and away we go again with a much better outlook.

Besides I was allowed to awaken today, still sober. What could be better than that...............................

Feeling happy and blessed! No school or work today so I'm trying not to feel guilty not doing much today! I'm having a lazy day! :)

One day at a time, can't wait to go to a meeting tonight. I don't get to go to many, cause I travel. But I go every chance I can, and this is the next best thing. :)

Hi Gary! I just got back from the supermarket and putting groceries away. Nothing new going on here. I handle situations as they arise, just like you. When I was working, it was impossible to avoid skirmishes with coworkers from time to time because they didn't have a 12 Step Program. I don't have to accept unacceptable behavior. I am responsible for the way I handle it. Thanks for the post!
