Hi Guys,
I'll be crawiling about in a ships boiler at the usual time of
sending that's why it's early, just thought I'd mention it, it saves my inbox
getting clogged with the bl**dy obvious !

For Today --

If you and your husband find a solution for the pressing problem of drink you
are, of course, going to be very happy. But all problems will not be solved at
once. Seed has started to sprout in a new soil, but growth has only begun. In
spite of your new-found happiness, there will be ups and downs. Many of the
old problems will still be with you. This is as it should be.
The faith and sincerity of both you and your husband will be put to the test.
These work-outs should be regarded as part of your education, for thus you
will be learning to live. You will make mistakes, but if you are in earnest they
will not drag you down. Instead, you will capitalize them. A better way of life
will emerge when they are overcome.

-- Alcoholics Anonymous, page 117

May I make a resolute attempt at acting out the way I want to be – loving,
forgiving, kind, thoughtful.

Love is God.

Love and, as always, myGgwy Ian S..
