I had a good day today. Watched
part of a 1970’s movie called The Driver
with Ryan O’Neal along with some scifi reading on my kindle, swimming, grocery
shopping, and made it to my home group tonight.
Lea joined me for those activities.
I was going to have a late lunch with Bob and George, but it turned out
to be SeaFair weekend and Bob wasn’t around.
George and I will have dinner next week.
It will be the first time I have seen George since his cancer surgery a
month ago.
Charlie led the meeting on the 5th step which is admitting
the exact nature of our wrongs to god and another human being. He talked about humility and spirituality. One of the most important things about the 5th
step for me is to stop being such a stoic. One slogan is that I am only as sick
as my secrets. I am a big one for lies
of omission, i.e., not talking about my thoughts, feelings and fears. I have no doubt that I will always need to
continue to improve on sharing my feelings with others. As a child, I learned talking about my
feelings with my family was akin to showing them an open wound and asking them
to pour salt on it.
I am grateful for easygoing good days with pleasant companionship and good friends in recovery.
