I am beginning to accept things the way they are. I now spend less time trying to fight things an ask why. I have heard more than person say that one of things that was a turning point in their recovery was acceptance. I managed to stay away from every piece of the more that 10 pounds of candy that is kept at my workplace. That is so much candy you might think I work for a candy store, but in reality I work for a large engineering firm. However, I did have piece of the monthly birthday cake.

Today is a new day and I get another chance to do what I know is right. I need to do some step writing and exercise. Lack of exercise has been a recent problem in my life and I have a membership to a beautiful, high energy health club. Spending more time their would be a step in the right direction. I have really good about today and I wish I could have this feeling everyday, but right now, I will settle for having it more days.
