Dear diary
Don’t I hate it in early recovery that my thought, my feeling and action are not in line.
One day, I notice
My thought: I need to work today
My feeling: I don’t want to go to work today
My action: I had to choose what I dislike NOW, I force myself to go to work today
Spoke to my sponsor, he call this self-discipline
Today I notice
My thought: I want to gamble today
My feeling: I feel like gambling today
My action: I had to choose what I don’t want NOW, I don’t allow myself to gamble today.
Today I read a motivational message
DISCIPLINE is just choosing
between what you want NOW
and what you want MOST
