What I have found, Saphie, is that time management around recovery is one of those paradoxes. When I was drinking, I never had time to do anything I wanted, so it seemed. Now that I've been sober for a while, the time just seems to come.

And the real funny paradox is, the more I focus on recovery, the more time I seem to have. I'll get feeling overwhelmed sometimes with full time job, family, meetings I love, and especially working with new guys. But then I remember the phrase on pg 163 about tapping into a power greater than myself. I don't have to worry or be afraid about how I'm going to manage all of this. I don't have to manage it. My job is to be of maximum service.

When I focus on that, I always find the time for the new guy and for the family and work and everything else.
