Quote:

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day (BB page 86).

What are your plans for the day, and how do those plans reflect being an active participant in your recovery? My very limited experience has shown me that I need to be an active participant in my recovery on a daily basis. Recovery is a way of life. How are you making recovery a way of life today?
For me:
I read BB pages 86-88 shortly after waking up. They remind me how to behave for the next 24 hours. Those three pages give me clear-cut instructions for any situation that may arise throughout the day. Personally, I need to read them each morning in order to be reminded. That's just the type of alcoholic I am.
Today I'll also continue to search for the Great Reality deep down within. I do this by being rigorously honest about my motives and the motives for my motive's motives. Maybe today I will be honest enough to sweep away another cobweb of delusion.
I also plan on attending group conscience, calling my sponsor, and calling my sponsee.
