MikeL's Recovery Blog: December 2010
http://mikelrecovery.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A recovering alcoholic's blog on a variety of subjects related in some way to alcoholism, recovery, spirituality, meditation, etc. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. The Toolkit was Seemingly Empty. Hmmm, the phone call made me feel better! Know that I've never been one who used the "tool" of calling other recoverying alcoholics as a part of my daily routine: I don't like the phone, I don't like talking to people who I can't see - - actually, I'm not sure I like talking to people even when I can see them!

A recovering alcoholic's blog on a variety of subjects related in some way to alcoholism, recovery, spirituality, meditation, etc. Saturday, March 15, 2014. The Serenity Prayer: From Petition to Trickery. It's not something anyone told me to do or even suggested that it might be a good idea. It sorta just seemed like a good idea that might occupy my mind with something other than drinking. As a gift from God or anyone else) so that I can then. Accept the things I cannot change! And only then, that I then...

MikeL's Recovery Blog: July 2011
http://mikelrecovery.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
A recovering alcoholic's blog on a variety of subjects related in some way to alcoholism, recovery, spirituality, meditation, etc. Monday, July 11, 2011. I shared with them my own most recent experience with deep hurt morphing into resentment and how AA had taught me the importance of focusing on "our part" if we are to find any sense of peace and serenity in our recovery. This experience came during my youngest daughter's wedding reception about a month ago now. By the time the day of the wedding arrive...

http://mikelrecovery.blogspot.com/2012/04/apparently-40-out-of-86-affirmations.html
A recovering alcoholic's blog on a variety of subjects related in some way to alcoholism, recovery, spirituality, meditation, etc. Sunday, April 15, 2012. Apparently, 40 Out of 86 Affirmations Were More Than Enough. Not long after my youngest daughter's marriage to Daniel in June of last year, Rachel became pregnant and she was ecstatic!

But in the last two months or so, I was presented with some challenges with one of my sponsees that kept me "just before" being. Whelmed at almost a constant state of affairs. But, as suggested by one of my mentors in AA, I needed to simply take things one whelm at a time - - otherwise, I'd get overwhelmed! This quote hit me like a ton of bricks! I commi...
