I went to bed last night with a black cloud hanging over my head, woke up this morning and the darn thing was still there.
I prayed last night, meditated this morning, went to work and emailed my sponsor about getting together to talk, PM'd another alcoholic on SR for input, and will continue to seek God's will for me throughout the day.
For me, recovery requires constant action. Using really isn't an issue, but survival can be.
