I thought this was an excellent meditation, good food for thought.
My fiance often comments on how disciplined I am in my daily life. Almost to a fault I guess.
I follow my own strict patterns that I’ve set for myself every day. I rarely allow myself the luxury of sleeping in late, instead I choose to get up early and attend an AA meeting.
I don’t play hookey from work or show up late, I’ve worked 10 hour days most of my life. I was a high-functioning alcoholic.
I keep a neat home, always cleaning and straightening things up. The beds are always made and there’s never a dirty dish in the sink.
Wow, am I OCD or anal or what?
And it’s carried over into my recovery. I’m faithful to my meetings and service work. It keeps me sober, having a disciplined life is what works for me.
So what about you? Any thoughts you’d like to share about discipline?
