today

I had fun watching and playing baseball with our neighbors boys. We sat and watched my youngest son practice and then we all went to another field to throw the ball. You could tell how much they missed having a dad.

I am in the isolation stage again in my program. I don't know if it's the lack of hours or the lack of effort. I must keep moving ahead and add another meeting during the week.

with god

Tomorrow I am going to the funeral of a great man. This man died honest and sober.. I spoke with him a lot at my rehab center, he was on the H&I tour for many years. He helped countless men and women in this program. He was aa inside and out. He was in my home group and was highly respected for his dedicated work in helping other alcoholics. He would always ask me in my first year "did you drink today?" and I would say no and he would say in his Scottish accent "then your a winner". I always felt good when he would say that to me. I wanted so much to be a winner. He has been a big part of my recovery and I will hold him dear to my heart forever.
