in fact, there is so much going on, that it is 5 PM and i am finally getting around to putting my thoughts down into bits and bytes. i GOT to climb to the top of another fourteener today, making it my 9th summit. i tried to get this done before leaving my home at 4:45 AM, and i just could not make it happen, which allowed me the opportunity to consider what exactly this simple program means to me today. making it home and looking at what did not happen at work, makes me even more motivated to cut and run and let the chips fall as they will. then i keep stumbling across the spiritual principle of integrity and how doing what bi say i will do, is part of the life i am living. so i checked in, ran what needed to be run and took the time to do this little ditty.
when i think of how simple this program really is and how easy it is for me to stay clean, these days, i wonder why i resisted being a part of something like this for so long and with so much of my energy. i really have not changed that much, all things considered, from those days of silent desperation between my clean date and the date i finally became a member. i still want to run my life. i still what want i want and i want it now. i still have trouble seeing my part in messes that i make. and the litany of the symptoms of addiction can go on and on. what i do GET is to choose to play that game, or live a simple program, and today i choose the life that has been built on that simple program. tomorrow? who knows, but i can at least CHOOSE to go one way or the other.
