Umbrage

There are two things I need to do tomorrow - well, at least in the spiritual sense because, as I approach 60 days gamble free and 52 days drink free tomorrow, I sense I’m slipping. And I think I can regain some foothold by being honest.

The first is that the other day, I saw my neighbor’s dog in the street. I tried to catch her to bring her home but ended up scaring her and she took off down a busy street in traffic. I couldn’t catch her but I didn’t try very hard. I want to inquire about her and see if she’s ok.

The second thing is to welcome our neighbor, who actually moved in a year ago. I kept meaning to and never did, and it makes me feel bad.

Admitting my part in these things and then trying to make it right may help reorient me because tonight, I pictured myself at a casino. And I really wanted a drink.

God, help me, please. I don’t know how or with what, but you do. Thank you.
