“… help me strive for awareness and acceptance… gentleness and compassion for myself — and others…” – The Language of Letting Go 
I went to Al-Anon last night with Philzy. On the way home he said “the most important thing I’ve learned in program is awareness.” I have to agree. When I’m aware that my thoughts, words or behaviors are unhealthy for me or others, I can then apply the tools of the program, preventing the onslaught of pain and suffering that, otherwise, I would surely inflict upon myself and others, while quite possibly blaming them for the eruption of dysfunction. Today I’ll keep myself aware of how I feel in order to remain peaceful, calm and in harmony with the world around me. ILML!
