Tired...

THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.

Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Wow, long day.

Basically hung out with my family over in Clearwater early on in the day, and then went straight to an AA get together at a friends house. Now I am back home and just kinda sleepy. Perhaps my body is saying: go to sleep!

I had a really good time today. It was great seeing everybody! Not too much drama to report either. Actually, the whole family got along pretty well. My little sister is in town from California, and she may stay with me for a few nights this week. I told her she could crash here if she got tired of my mom's house. Any how, still tired and feeling like sleep!

Lol

Maybe I will do that...
