A new leaf

I think I am going to try something new with my gratitude list. Instead of rhyming 10 things that I am grateful for everyday, which I have not done in quite some time, I am just going to talk about where I am at in my recovery today. It is my belief that this will allow me to be much more honest and open about things and therefore be much more useful to my recovery.
Friday, January 04, 2008 I have made a meeting everyday this year. For me this is a big deal. I am not normally the type that goes to 7 meetings a week but I think part of my new year’s resolution will be to make more meetings. I seem to function better when I make meetings and I begin to feel connected to the AA of West Texas (never ever thought I would say that). Not that I have anything against West Texas AA but ok I do. Definitely something I need to work on. I just get a little upset when we have what I like to call a Jesus Christ meeting, that’s where someone mentions Jesus and the next ten people talk about how Jesus Christ is there personal Lord and savior. Oh well, it has defiantly helped me with my patience and tolerance. So today I guess today I am grateful for patience and tolerance.
