Getting Abstinent

Well getting back to 3 meals a day with nothing in between was way easier than I thought it would be. However, life has changed for me significantly. Recent events are forcing me retool how I approach everyday.

1. No iPod - After the official clean-up of the "Death of a Burning Bush," I asked to the spirits to help me become a more righteous man. I was told to "lose the iPod." I want to fathom want the spirits direct intent is, but I don't think that is important. So, I'm losing the iPod for 90 days. 90 days seems to be a new theme. I hope it works out well.

2. New Sponsor - I have a new OA sponsor. I don't know if it will work, but I already feel my resistance to it. So there is probably some good recovery work coming my way.

3. Rethinking - I can think whatever I want in my own head. However, my actions ultimately guide me in the direction that I want to go. "We cannot think first and act afterward. From the moment of birth we are immersed in action, and can only fitfully guide it by taking thought." -Alfred North Whitehead
