I find this comforting to realize we are perfect just as we are right now. Within me I am Buddha within all beings there is Buddha nature.
Last night in the meeting the talk was on setting an intention. This I practice pretty much throughout the day in my program. Just for today I wont drink I will try to my best ability to show up for my precious human life. There are many forms that try to detour me along the way to sobriety.
They appear but I dont have to invite them in for tea or go and have a drink over the voices.
One appearance that happens for me these days is the voice of " there is something else that I should be doing instead of being there for myself in a meeting." But I show up anyway despite the voices.
This is my addict trying to pull me down. A woman mentioned addicts being
Irritable, restless and ill at ease. This pretty much fits the description of myself at times.
Being of service to others also helps me and others. To keep it you have to give it away freely.
Gratitude for having choices in my life today

Always good to have compassion for life
I sometimes have intentions--the good things that I want to do that day. And some days I am just ambling along with no agenda or purpose. The latter is my tendency to simply let life happen. Maybe I need to get some of my intention back!
