Adjusting the Path

It's been f-u-n. I went to English Al-Anon, then Spanish Al-Anon, then an AA Big Book study, then to Innergroup's Bar-b-que Luncheon then I visited my sister, I went home, rested a bit, later went out to eat dinner with some AA ladies, went to Birthday Night celebrations and finally made it back home about 9:30pm. Wow. It was a lot of fun. Peaceful. Enjoyable. Thank YOU, GOD.

Hope for Today, p.308, "...taught me that I was right to think I can't control all of those outside forces...taught me that manipulating people and events to my liking is not the path to serenity. Serenity is a matter of inner stability. If I keep the focus on myself and let my Higher Power take care of the rest, everything seems to work out for the best....gives me the tools to keep myself on course, so I can maintain my serenity no matter what winds are blowing or which waves are washing over me...internal inspections remind me of my destination---serenity and a spiritual awakening---and allow me to adjust my path as needed...a wonderful feeling to take care of myself lovingly and no longer to fear the turbulence that sometimes still swirls around me."

ODAT, p.308, "..."Detach from the problem, but not from the person."...it never means disinterest...is to keep myself from being drawn into crises of the alcoholic's making. If I do not interfere, he will be compelled to find his own way out of his difficulties..."

Dear Sweet Lord GOD Almighty Creator, YOU are The Source, The One, The Solution to ALL my problems. Thank YOU for it all. Love, Carol xoxox
