Here it is the most dreaded night of the year for a sugar addict–Halloween. My 125 pound husband went to purchase his annual 25-30 bags of candy. For some reason he got upset with the cashier and did not buy anything, but I am sure by this evening that will change.
This is not an evening I am looking forward too. Yes, I enjoy seeing all the small children dressed up, but the fact that there is an overabundance of chocolate around does not make me happy. During the hours of trick-or-treat would probably be a good time for a meeting.

As a woman there is nothing I like more than a comfortable shoe. Being part of the corporate world it is also important that your shoes also look good. I have attended meetings held out of town that are more like a competition to see who is the “best dressed” than they are meetings.

Today I took the day off work and I am not sure why. Sometimes, I just get tired of the routine. I do not feel challenged by my job and I am not sure there is anywhere to go with it. I do not see myself doing it for more than a year or two at most. I am excited about my online business, but I am not in the position where I can make it my full time job. It is a goal that I have set for myself, though. I have had a day to myself, so I guess it is back to the corporate world tomorrow and all the candy they have at the office.
How often do you go to the dentist? Many people don’t go to the dentist on a regular basis and the biggest reason for that is the cost. Going to the dentist can be expensive and not everyone has dental insurance for one reason or another. If you do not have dental insurance due to the cost, you should check out dentalplans.com.
Since 1999, DentalPlans.com has been an industry leader bringing individuals, families and groups affordable and comprehensive discount dental plans.
Dental insurance is well worth the money you put into it. I have a niece that went the dentist for the first time ever. She is 16. She had 2 root canals on her first visit and is scheduled to have several cavities filled. She says the reason she had never gone was because her parents could not afford it. The reason she went to the dentist now is because they got dental insurance.
The sad thing is you cannot undo damage that has been done to your teeth. So it is a good idea to take care of your teeth while you have the chance. If you need dental insurance, come visit dentalplans.com and check out the discount dental plans that they have available.
I am not feeling particularly optimistic tonight, a feeling I am sure will pass. Lately, I feel I have not put the necessary work into my recovery. I think that there are things in my life that are changing for the better, but I feel like my spirituality is lacking. That is me also striving for that perfection that I will never reach.
Of distorting days
Live that lonely thing
That shone before these eyes.
William Butler Yeats
Recovery can be like a curtain going up a little at a time. It opens very slowly, sometimes dropping back down a little, sometimes staying where it is for weeks or months before rising some more.
This image helps remind us that recovery doesn’t always progress at the speed we would like. It is often a slow process, with many starts and stops. But we know that as long as we work our program, the curtain will continue to go up. We have faith that eventually our lives will be filled with the light our program lets in.
We are on the right track toward a better way of life. Whether our curtain is only up a little or much farther along, we share with those in our fellowship a common strength, a common goal, and a common destination.
Today let me grateful for the others who are with me on the road to recovery.

Tomorrow is a new week. I have been reading a lot of OA blogs. I am trying to see what works for other people. I am finding that some of them go to great lengths to not overeat. I find myself being lazy. I wonder where I will find the time to prepare everything ahead of time and to overcome the temptation to want to eat out.
I already know in the back of my compulsive mind that eating out is not a good thing for me, because I am not able to make wise decisions. But it is hard for me not to go out at lunch just to get out of the office. I could go for a walk at lunch, but I seem to be able to talk myself out of that pretty easily.
But I look at all the time I waste not doing the right thing and it aggravates me. I often wonder what God’s plan is for me. Hopefully, soon it will become clear. While I have come a long way, I would like to have perfection, but I know that is not in the plan. I need to start with acceptance and the rest will most likely follow.

The Program Waltz
At a meeting one time, we heard a woman simplify the program in a unique way. She was struggling with many issues all at once. She was having trouble working the Steps. She was wrestling with marital and job problems. She said that is what has been most helpful to her is “The Program Waltz.”
This she explained is her way of simplifying recovery. Whenever she became overwhelmed she goes back to the first three steps: “One, Two, Three…,One, Two, Three…” In this way, she said, she concentrates on the principles that help her the most in times of need: powerlessness, surrender, and letting go. These first three steps help her get centered and remind her of the thoughts and spiritual guidance that help her most.
Sometimes we can end up spinning our wheels in the program and we find we must move on and take a Fourth Step in order to stay balanced. It’s nice to know, though, that the steps are available to all of us, that we can go back and start again when we need to.
Although “One, Two, Three” may not be as effective for all of us, it can be a useful tool for focusing on the basics of recovery.
Today I am thankful for the wisdom of those who are in recovery with me.
