“My first task is to manage my own life, whether or not the alcoholic is still drinking.” (ODAT, 25 April)
God’s the Director, and I’m the manager. What I manage (me) and how I manage my life (well) is directed and powered by God.
I’ve needed to sort myself out physically, mentally, socially, and practically and in terms of spirituality, religion, philosophy, and morality.
The initiative comes from me, and everything else comes from God.
