For me it's working Steps 1, 3, 7 and 11 everyday with God in the morning and then trying to remember that objective all day long.

It's God and AA, which I regard as an instrument of God, in that order.

Thanks for asking.

Thanks to everyone.

I love all of you as members of our SR community and my sobriety family.

I also agree with Gotta/Mike (as I always do) that we can have a really cool life.

I view myself as repaired and not impaired.

the repaired not impaired view of yourself is interesting to me because i tend to view myself as impaired / disabled but i've become accepting of it. For example when i realized my flaws i started to feel as if something was wrong with me i felt bad about myself and felt like i was less then and would never be good enough. But in time i became accepting of my strenghts and weeknesses and didnt really let them bring me down anymore.

It seems you take it a step further tho then i do and view it as repaired. Im gonna ponder this view some.

Thanks!

The "repaired" assessment is contingent on a lot of efforts on my part for my various issues, of course.
