Today I am feeling a little guilty. I was reading a book by Lee Child last night and couldn't put it down until the wee small hours of the morning. I knew I was doing wrong, gave myself a talking to, but just couldn't put the book down. His Jack Reacher series is probably what contributed to my poor eye sight. I never want to put them down until their finished.
I kept reminding myself that my Al-Anon meeting was at noon and I needed to go to sleep. Well I didn't even seet my alarm and I woke up at 11:11 a.m. and I talked myself out of going. If I had rushed to the phone and called my sponsor and if I was lucky I would catch her before she left for the meeting, but then I thought, 'I won't have time for a lunch, (the group is called Lunch Bunch), I won't have time for a shower, and I will be able to finish my book. Well the book is still there untouched, but I am down here at the internet cafe talking to you.
If I am not mistaken, the topic of the meeting was to be Step Ten. It is a Step I always need to work a little harder on and then maybe I wouldn't have to make an amend for not going to the meeting. I didn't promise anyone I'd be there, but I did promise myself that I would make the effort to go every week.
