Whether you think you can or you think you can’t; you are right.  –Henry Ford

I thought quote was appropriate for where I’m at right now.  I am back, climbing my way back up onto ‘the wagon’.  There is finally a face to face meeting where I live.  I am so grateful for that.  I’ve been attending 2 meetings a week since mid-May.  It’s been good.  There are only a handful of people in the group but it’s still good.  We each have varying degrees of experience with 12-step programs, so we compliment one another well.

With the start of a new quarter, there is a new ‘Working the Steps’ study group that I am participating in online.  This is only week one, studying step one.  Tonight I did the assignment - it was telling.  I found myself writing things and coming to new realizations that I’ve never made prior.  I had forgotten the power of writing.  I need to use this tool - for me it is very powerful.

I have two sponsors now - one for step work and one for food plan - I imagine they will cross over and that is fine.  One is online one is face to face.  I’m excited about beginning my journey again…

God,
Tonight I am grateful
for the opportunity
to begin this journey
again and tonight
I pray only for willingness…
