I posted this on another forum tonight, but it fits here too --
Quote:Another good, and sober, day in the books. Tested a bit at work -- short-handed by a call-in on a very busy Friday night, and my only cashier was not only two hours late but bringing her personal life into work.
I made the decision early into the shift when I saw what a crap-sandwich I was being served that no matter what, I will be happy today, and I managed it. Focusing on the job at hand did much, and when my thoughts veered to resentment, applying some of the principles of recovery sure helped me reel in my feelings. Two years ago this would simply have been another excuse to get hammered; a year ago I would have been struggling mightily against an obnoxiously loud AV.
Tonight was all about I got this. It's simply amazing what both serenity and determination (an odd combo, right?) can do for us.
I hope all is well with everyone. You guys were part of my success tonight.
