In order to make a change in our lives we need courage. The bigger the change, the more the courage.

                                    Reliability

"Be where you say you will be, Do what you say you will do."

                         

Neither was likely to happen when I was drinking.

Now being a reliable, trustworthy person is a major focus and goal for me. I check to make sure my calender is open before I answer yes.  If I say I will make it and I cant....I call.  This is the way it  always should have been.

How do you feel about this?

Is it important to you?

How do you feel when someone fails to do this for you?

                                            (9) - Gratitude List

One day I informed my home group that I was generally not happy with the way my life was going. My job, my program, the world, pretty much everything. I asked them to help fix this (me).

They replied almost immediately and unanimously "Go home and make a gratitude list."


Why would they ask me to do this?

Have you ever made such a list? Was it helpful?

What three things are you most grateful for right now?
