Tommy that is an awesome idea, I am feeling lazy this morning so I will leave it to someone else to find the quote, but in the BB it says something to the effect that when we become, angry, confused, frustrated, etc. it is best to just take a step back and be quiet, to slow down, to pray and meditate on the situation at hand, to turn it over if need be or to be patient and wait for the proper action to come.

I do the same as you except I slowly say the Serenity prayer, letting it sink in.... not only to me but into the situation at hand.

Especially amazing for someone like me who thought I knew everything there was to know about the 12 steps (foolish me ).
I catch myself in that mode soemtimes!!!
