Thank you Trish..
I'm not deterred from posting. I realize that it's people who appear.. "unsettled" that needs the posts the most. Perhaps.. they will read "something" that will inspire them as much as it does for myself and others. But if not.. so be it! We will reap the benefits..
Speaking of benefits.. I'm soooo happy that you are doing well and the last stay in the hospital and rehab has helped you so much. Keep learning and sharing.. and I'll keep you in my prayers!

02/15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I become angry, can I admit to it and state it as a fact without allowing it to build up and burst out in innappropriate ways? Pent-up anger, I've finally begun to learn, quickly shatters the peace of mind that's so critical to my on-going recovery. When I become enraged and lose control, I unwittingly hand over control to the person, place, or thing with which I am enraged. WHEN I'M ANGRY WILL I TRY TO REMEMBER THAT I AM ENDANGERING MYSELF? WILL I "COUNT TO TEN" BY CALLING A FRIEND IN THE PROGRAM AND SAY THE SERENITY PRAYER ALOUD?
TODAY I PRAY
May I recognize angry feelings and let them out a little a time, stating my anger as a fact, instead of allowing it to fester into rage and explode uncontrollably.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Anger is. Rage need not be.

As most of you know, I was in a psychiatric hospital and then a rehab for a few weeks. I made it to 30 days of sobriety on Saturday. I am so grateful, and have learned so much in recent weeks. This time, I learned things about myself, and God has been teaching me what I need to know in gentle ways, because some of this stuff is disturbing.
God bless.

We sometimes hear someone say, "He is standing in h iw own light." A mental picture then clearly reveals that many of us tend to shadow our own happiness by mistaken thinking. Let us learn to stand aside so the light can shine on us and all we do. For only then can we see ourselves and our cir****tances with true clarity. With The Program and the Twelve Steps, we no longer need to stand in our own light and try alone to solve our problems in darkness. WHEN I AM FACED WITH A SEEMINGLY INSOLUBLE PROBLEM, WILL I ASK MYSELF IF I AM STANDING IN MY OWN LIGHT?
TODAY I PRAY
May I not get in my own way, obscure my own clarity of thought, stumble over my own feet, block my own doorway to recover. If I find that I am standing in my own light, may I ask my Higher Power and my friends in the group to show me a new vantage point.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
If all I can see is my shadow, I'm in my own light.

Cindy, if you are referring to myself, back off what??
