...so it's sunny day, weather is great, my husband is out for the day with the one of the kids and dog, the other two girls are at sleep overs. I am alone in my house for the next 9 hours!!! Yea!!! Now what shall I do, work in the garden for a bit...tidy up a bit...start a new project...I know! Sit down in the yard with my Paths to Recovery (CAL) and a note book and work my Step 2. It was almost as though I was being told that this rare amount of free time was given to me for a reason.

So, I read the chapter and I pull out my pad and pencil to explore the 20 or so questions at the end of Step 2 and just as I am about to read the first question I begin to write the nonsense about having Power of the alcoholic and having Control of the situation. Strange, it was like a 'devil made me do it' kind of moment.:crazy

Once I erased those words I was able to get down to work.

Good thing it was only temporary!!
