| Again, as my friend LeeAnn says, “I can’t stop the birds from flying over my head, but I don’t have to let them make a nest in my hair.” Practicing the principles as outlined in this program keeps those thoughts from taking up residence in my head.
I’m glad you made it through the situation. And if you ask me, I’d say it sure sounded like progress to me. After all we alcoholics are people who normally reach for a drink and not the phone. It's more normal for us to ask for “another” instead of asking for help. You didn’t do that . . . (Y.E.T.) Keep using the tools that are freely given to you by this program and you will be able to help others when they arrive at this same place in their journey.
Keep bringing the body and the mind will follow!
