i need to spend time with other recovering addicts because they may detect our complacency before i do. working hard this morning, so it is time to take a break, write a bit and then go hide out in the smoke of a big cigar. so as i sit here and ponder over the warning signs of complacency, i am struck with the fact, that is an inventory that i should undertake a bit more often than on an annual basis. i can honestly say, that today, i am hooked into my recovery, i am doing those things that keep me clean, and have kept me clean, since i finally surrendered to the fact that i am an addict.
so i could go into that once again, or launch a tirade about others, but instead i think i will just move forward with me day, with a dep sense of gratitude that today i am an active participant in my program of recovery, and with the help of a loving HIGHER POWER, the chances are good that i will be again tomorrow.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

4) As soon as it proceeds to action, it has a name. When it once has
that name, (men) can know to rest in it. When they know to rest in
it, they can be free from all risk of failure and error.
