Just for Today
Friday, Jan. 6, 2012
Just for today, I cannot take for granted the vital lifeline that the support of an AA home group and other Program members is in my own recovery. As such, I need to determine that I am attending enough meetings to bolster my recovery or, if I am limited by whatever resources to make the meetings, that I have a strong enough social network through the Program to carry me through. Working toward any goal, and maybe especially so if the goal if recovery and sobriety, can be more difficult if I am working alone. That difficulty is dispersed if I can feel the support of others working toward the same goal but, in the process, I need to be willing to be honest in sharing my own history, what I have gained in the Program and on which Steps I need more work. Today, I need not be in self-imposed isolation, even in recovery, and I have to recognize the importance of peer and group supportand acceptance. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
