Take the pill
 
Another reminder of how messed up I am happened yesterday at work. I went to fill out my time sheet and on the bartenders pack of cigarettes was half a pill. I recognized it. Percocet. My AV went nuts. "Steal the pill. Eat the pill. Pretend to knock over the cigarettes and put it in your pocket". I don't know how long I stared at the damn thing for but I left it and replaced the thoughts with this..."steal it? Normal people wouldn't have even noticed it and you want to steal it??" I don't even steal!! Thank you universe for the reminder that I am an alcoholic/addict in recovery. Thank you for providing me with the strength, courage and tools I use everyday.

Glad you walked on by that one, CG. Stay the course. It really does play tricks, doesn't it?

Good job CG. That is the strength I am working on having. To walk away whatever is placed in front of me. So proud of you!
