Just for Today
Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012
Just for today, in the throes of all the demands on me at work and in my personal life, I must strengthen my resolve to my recovery by remembering how I got here - and how. I must ask myself honestly if I have experienced the fundamental change in emotion and psyche that is required in recovery. I must not permit any of those destructive influences in my yesterdays to sabatoge my today and, probably, my tomorrow. I must acknowledge any subconcious seed that might be planting a slip or relapse. And if that seed exists, I know I'm in trouble with Steps One, Two and Three. Those Steps - of total admission, surrender and submission of all I cannot control - are the building blocks of my Program. I must be on guard if I feel a crack in any of them. Today, I am an alcoholic, and I cannot - and do not want to - drink. Sweet and simple. Just for today. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
