Things I learned (or was reminded of) this week. Second in a series.

1.  Whatever looks like the problem is almost never actually the problem.  Untreated alcoholism is usually -- almost always -- the problem.

2.  I am not supposed to be one molecule more recovered, one inch farther down the spiritual path, than I am right at this moment.  I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

3.  This does not mean that there aren't things I need to give my full attention -- my best effort -- to changing, or working on, or starting or letting go of -- but if, at the end of the day, I didn't drink or use or kill myself, I win -- and the rest of that crap will just have to work itself out.

I didn't kill myself...or anyone else today! I WIN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!

Hearing that I am right where I'm supposed to be was one of the most calming things that I heard coming into program and I try to pass that on to others. I'm glad it's significant to you too.
