Just for today, I will reach out to a friend. I will remember it is a 'we' program andwhen someone comes to mind, I try to pick up the phone and call or say a prayer for them.  |

It always makes me feel good when someone sends a a card, email, or phones just to say hi and let me know they are thinking of me and it does go both ways. I can do that too!!!----Bunnypie  |

Just for today, I will remember when and recognize where people are coming from. I will forgive them and allow them their own journey without direction from me.  |

Mom was a 30 year Alanon when she died. She had a sign in her kitchen that said "WAS THE BUSINESS YOU MINDED TODAY YOUR OWN?"
She said it was Alanon program and she needed the sign to remind her of it-----Bunnypie

Just for today, I will focus on my health and recovery. My body is doing wierd things and not sure what is happening. I think the medication is affecting my kidneys. Can't win, try to get mobile by getting rid of the swelling and then I find myself walking like a drunken sailor because the diuretic causes dizzyness. So grateful this program is one day at a time.  |

I was recently complaining about all the medical hoops I have had to jump thru to try to get recovery from cancer. I was saying how some things help and some things don't. The person I was talking to inturupted me saying "That is why they call it PRACTICING medicine" they don't really know either! It is all trail and error a lot of times......Bunnypie |

Just for today, I will practice acceptance. Went to the doctors and for all the good it did, I could have phoned in my reply. Two papers I thought I had with me, I left at home. It would have been much easier to explain what was going on if I had made sure they were where I thought they were.  Not feeling good still, going to be closing up shop shortly and take myself back to my bed.  |

Oh Jo-----there is a line in an old rock song that goes "please remember what I told you to forget" I don't remember the name of the song or who sang it but I do remember that line!!!----Baffled Bunnypie |

Just for today, I will trust myself to do what I need to do in today. I will listen to that still small voice and trust it instead of discounting. If I doubt myself, I am doubting my God.  |

The formula that Dr Bob had was Trust God-Clean House-Help Others. I think it is what has kept AA going for all these years. I trust God but I think he moves too slow sometimes. I want answers and I want them right now!!! LOL but God keeps me waiting and that is real hard for an impatient alkie like me!!!! |

I know BP, that is my dis-ease. I have no desire to act out in my disease in today. When my disease starts to walk and/or talk, I know that I need to get back to basics and have a little talk with my God.  |

You are singing to the choir! Alcoholism is cunning, baffling, powerful, and very patient! I will wait for me and I need to talk to God to let him know that I need him when I am in trouble!!!---Bunnypie |

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have to go to the eye doctor. I am hoping I don't have to get new glasses. If there is something wrong with the eye, I hope it can be corrected with laser surgery. Patience and tolerance with others, but mostly with myself.  |

Good Luck on the eye test! I recently went and had the vision and glaucoma tests done and it was $100. The chemo treatments had caused a lot of strain to my vision but I didn't need to change my glasses just do eye drops and rest them a little more.
Hope it is something simple and not too expensive for you!-----Bunnypie

He gave me eye drop samples from his office and I go back in 3 weeks. My visit was covered my Ontario Health Insurance and didn't cost me anything.  |

Oh Jo---that is just wonderful that you have eye care provided. My insurance is limited and does NOT include vision or dental. I had to pay out of pocket for eye tests and a glaucoma test for the eyes and it was $100. Eye care can and does get expensive! Glad to hear that you have coverage!--------Bunnypie |

My test and visit to a specialist is covered. The eye glasses are not. I am not sure, but I think a portion is paid for, and I have to pay the rest. I think it is 2/3s of the cost, but not sure, it has been a long time, before I was on old age pension. When I was on disability they were covered, when I went on old age pension, all of a sudden things were not covered that use to be. It was like I was no longer disabled. Go figure!

Just for today, I am back on acceptance. I am powerless over people, places, and things. Back to basics is a good place to go when things come up that trouble you. I think they call it Step One. Having issues with my son and have to set some boundaries. He keeps walking over them and I get tired putting them back up and trying to keep them in place.  |
