October 2, 2025 - the Tenth Step Journal

 Someone remarked that doing a blog like this can be considered a tenth step journal. I write about my day and run off on little tangents and may quite possibly learn things about myself in the process. Today had its ups and downs. My word today was expectations. I wrote about that in my god box blog and afterward I tried not to have expectations about a couple things I had planned for the day. Both of those things involved meeting with people I sponsor. Long story short, both of them canceled. One canceled about an hour prior to us meeting and the other one canceled almost two hours after our planned meeting. Needless to say, I was not impressed.

I did have conversations on social media with other persons whom I do not sponsor and those talks seemed to be helpful to the persons involved, so that was a bonus. Because of the free time I had, I was able to record next week's podcast so that was another plus.

Nancy was out with the girls so I made us a nice meal for when she got home. then, we went to a meeting. One of the other guys that I sponsor drove us there. As it turned out the meeting was just what I needed. I often say that I don't need to go to a meeting every day. I probably only need one meeting a week, but I never know which one it is. So, I go to seven a week and by the end of the week I have it figured out.
