careers, families, relationships -- all these are part of the life i find once i have laid the foundation of my recovery. i see it in others and i see it in myself. although it has been some time since i GOT clean, the creeping priorities of my sliding scale of time, jumps up and bites me in the a$$! okay, maybe it is not that bad, but i have a tendency to forget, that anything, and i mean ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, i put in front of my recovery, i can expect to lose.
so for me this morning, this seemed to one of those preaching to the choir kind of readings, i could go on and on about how this is oh so applicable in my life, but i think that it is just best to say that my task today is to focus on what my priorities are, and sign-off and go back to work.
it is a good day to recover and remember what i need to put first!

I call it The Great.
