Thanks. This morning I signed a kind of sobriety contract with my daughter and I also agreed with a friend who drives me grocery shopping that I wouldn't buy alcohol.

The agreement includes a few absolutes like not drinking, meditating twice a day, reading scripture, and exercising 30 minutes per day (or more, of course).

It also includes an optional "try to do" list that includes reading the Borderline Personality Disorder Skills Manual each day, not watching or reading news, not playing computer games, following a healthy diet (and charting it), limiting internet use, and cutting back on supplements. I sometimes get into trouble when I take handfuls of supplements. I just need to be sensible about it.

It's not in the contract but I won't do pot (the only drug I might try) or use some of the odd exotic enthobotanicals like kratom.

I plan to chart my progress with all the optional stuff. I just hope to gently limit certain activities and increase involvement in more fulfilling pursuits.

Verne
