I more and more feel less and less selfish! Does that make sense. There were times that all I wanted was for me. That I only thought of myself and nothing else. Today it is changing. I care more about people, family and work. My thoughts
don't automatically go to what is best for me, but what is best for others as well. I am not perfect. There are still so many times that I seek what can fulfill me right away. I need to center myself when this happens, get grounded and help others. It happens
alot when I
haven't checked in at a meeting or when I
haven't read or prayed or meditated. Keeping myself grounded is the only way to live one day at a time, and if I
don't then I cant promise myself the daily reprieve. Today I will have that reprieve and take advantage of not drinking.
Today I am grateful:
- Work slowly coming together.
- Surviving the first time speaking at a meeting, and people saying that what I shared helped them.
- Having everything I need today for a great day.
- A restful night uninterrupted by alcoholic waking up...shakes, etc...
When we get to steps 6 and 7 we start to turn from ourselves toward God and other people. The steps give us the freedom to develop a new life style. We do become less selfish.
