感谢一位好朋友

原文: Thanks To A Good Friend [A Dozen Steps]

Thanks to a good friend I’m now having a gratitude attack…

My day didn’t start out that way. In the course of the day, my friend Mike called and offered me many, many reasons to be grateful - for him and for me!

Mike has about a hundred different projects on his “plate.” I have substantially fewer.

One item on my plate is my responsibility to this blog. I believe I follow through on this responsibility fairly well and can’t criticize myself regarding it. If you want to that’s fine. Just remember - “those that judge don’t matter and those that matter don’t judge.” In another 10 days I’ll celebrate two years of writing here at A Dozen Steps and I am also extremely grateful to b5media and Jeremy Wright for the opportunity. I look forward to as much time as the God I understand allows me to continue writing here.

As a result of the gift of a program of recovery I am working on a project that will only enhance my presence online. I’m not ready to make it public yet. It is not different from what a lot of folks are doing but it will be a first for me.

Which is why today’s posts are a bit less than usual. I’m working on timing today. It is a concept, for me, to find a balance between things I love to do and other things which I darn well need to do. Yet, without the Twelve Steps, I’d never finish anything anyway. Alcohol would get in the way somewhere.

Not today…

译文: 感谢一位好朋友

      现在我要向一位好朋友表达我忠心的感谢……

      我的日子开始时并非如此。在那些天里,我的朋友Mike打电话给我,并且提供了许多感恩的理由,无论对他而言或是对我而言。

      Mike自己眼前也有大约一百个难题。事实上,我的困难比他小多了。

      我眼前的一个难题便是这个博客。我相信对于这项职责我完成得相当出色,不必于此自责。如果你想指责我,悉听尊便。只要记住:“随意评论你的人是无关紧要的人,真正在意你的人不会随意对你盖棺定论。”再过10天就将是我在A Dozen Steps开博2年的纪念日了,我会好好庆祝一番。我也要特别感谢b5media和Jeremy Wright给我这个机会能通过这个平台写日志。我期待上帝能尽量给我更多的时间来继续在这里写博客。

      作为恢复后的一个礼物,我正在实施一个计划,将会增加我的在线时间。现在我还不准备公之于众。这与许多人正在做的没什么不同,但是对于我而言这是第一次。

      为什么今天的发帖数比平时的少呢?因为我今天是在额定的时间内发帖的。我正试图在“喜欢做的事”和其他“必须做的事”之间寻找一个平衡点。然而,没有“12步”我无论如何都不可能会干成什么事。酒精会碍事。

      并非今天……
