Alcoholism is a three-fold - physical, emotional, and spiritual - disease. Because I've been affected by another's alcoholism, I check on my own physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being by asking myself:
Is my physical well-being a priority? Do I eat well and get enough sleep? When was the last time I had a check-up went to a dentist? Doi I keep myself clean? Take breaks? Exercise?
Do i ask for or give a hug when I need to? Am I growing more aware of my feelings? Do I have a sponsor and Al-Anon friends to help me through the rough times? Can I celebrate when things go welll? Am I taking time to enjoy myself? Is any of the attention I once gave to negative thinking now focused on gratitude?
Do I have a relationship with a Power greater than myself? If not, am I willing to give it a try? Do I make time for prayer and meditation? Am I more willing to ask for help? Do I regularly attend Al-Anon meetings, read Al-Anon literature, and apply the Seps and other tools to my everyday life? Do I recognize and acknowldge my growth?
- Courage to Change
Today's Reminder:
By simply taking inventory of my self-care habits, I am beginning to improve them.
"Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world."
- George Bernard Shaw
This affirms what I have been thinking about and a new awareness that I have had lately.
I like the last quote, it also means to me, walking my talk because others are often looking at me back through that window.
The gifts of sobriety (soundness of mind) are mine when I apply the program to my life.
