Occasionally. . . We are seized with a rebellion so sickening that we simply wont pray. When these things happen we should not think too ill of ourselves. We should simply resume prayer as soon as we can, doing what we know to be good for us.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 105
Sometimes I scream, stomp my feet, and turn my back on my Higher Power. Then my disease tells me that I am a failure, and that if I stay angry Ill surely get drunk. In those moments of self-will its as if Ive slipped over a cliff and am hanging by one hand. The above passage is my safety net, in that it urges me to try some new behavior, such as being kind and patient with myself. It assures me that my Higher Power will wait until I am willing once again to risk letting go, to land in the net, and to pray.

Thanks stepchild a great one to keep in mind everyday.
Sorry you are feeling down Pappy. I hope everything goes smoothly with your move and also sorry about your son getting upset at you. I hate that kind of thing --for anyone to be mad at me and especially close people in my life. Hope that fence gets mended soon for you (and hope I used the right wording for that).
