Understanding is the key to right principles and attitudes, and right action is the key to good living. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 125
There came a time in my program of recovery when the third stanza of the Serenity Prayer -- "The wisdom to know the difference" -- became indelibly imprinted in my mind. From that time on, I had to face the ever-present knowledge that my every action, word and thought was within, or outside, the principles of the program. I could no longer hide behind self-rationalization, nor behind the insanity of my disease. The only course open to me, if I was to attain a joyous life for myself (and subsequently for those I love), was one in which I imposed on myself an effort of commitment, discipline, and responsibility.

May my commitment, discipline and responsibility shine through tonight while Im at work! May I have the right attitude to make a difference in someones life.
Little prayer for my own sanity! Mostly accept the things I cannot change...My HP has a plan for me, in his time, and I know it will be worth the wait!!!!! (hurry, hurry)
