well, I wrote a journal entry and believe I deleted it, this can bring out character defects in a New York minute. I mentioned I went out of town for 2 days at the lake and how grateful I feel doing things like that without a drink or a pill there was a time I never thought that was possable. I got so sunburned and the pain is pretty bad but not a thought of taking any type of mind altering substance to take care of it. That comes to choices Icould have put sun block on to prevent it but you think I did?? NO I made the choice to do something unhealthy and paying for it. So in my mind I have a thinking problem at times as we say we had a thinking problem long before we had a drinking or drug problem. While I was gone I read half the book (as bill sees it) sure open my eyes to looking some things diffrently. This is one of the ways I keep on my square always looking to learn more which keeps me growing more its ever changing, but I know if I keep doing the right next thing living the steps to the best of my ability and helping others its a pretty sure bet things will be alright. till next time

You sound so good and I am thrilled for you and your new frame of mind. I know exactly how you feel about being so proud of ourselves today when we make the choice not to medicate or take a drink at the first time of any minor mishap. Our thinking is what used to get us in trouble, you know kind of like that devil on our shoulder that today we are able to flick right off. Well have a wonderful day. God bless, Kim
