End of Day (1/30)

Feelings Today:

happy, grateful, rushed, anxious

Issues:

Workload. Coming back from vacation means I am overwhelmed at work. I have lots of follow-up to do for the conference I was at last week. I have lots of prep to do for the conference I am presenting at next week. I have numerous phone calls and e-mails to return. I have projects that are falling behind. I am very very busy.

But being busy is good.

I also have personal issues that have been dropped in the midst of all my work and travel. I missed the deadline for filing a missing state tax return. I am behind on important bills. I need to get my prescriptions re-filled. Such is the life of an adult with A.D.D.

Yet being busy is good.

Finally, I want to make sure I remain connected with Beth. We had a great getaway in the Florida Keys last week and I feel much closer to her now. Addiction was not an issue when I was vacationing with the one I love. But that doesn't mean addiction won't be an issue now that I am home. I want to use this experience as part of my vision for a healthy life beyond addiction.

I want to stay sober.


Needs:

I need to re-engage in work and in my program in a healthy way. I need to return to the rhythm of daily prayer and meditation, phone calls, and journaling. I need to surrender daily my will and my life to Christ.
