"I's" in your post. I don't bring this up to be mean but to bring this to your attention to link it back to the steps. Who is running your life MrN1OA, you or your HP? From all of the I's I would have to guess that you are. If you are running your life then you are responsible for the results. I would talk to your sponsor though and see what he says, I may be way off base here. I know for me when my life isn't going according to plans I have started running the show again. I think it happens to everyone as we are only human, but when things get out of whack it's a good idea to take a good look at why that may be happening. Running problems by my sponsor is a good way to hear what I need to hear (and not necessarily what I want to hear).
