Just for Today
Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012
Just for today, I will not empower anyone or anything to diminish the self-confidence and self-respect I have developed in my recovery, nor will my progress be discouraged. People I might have injured in my drinking days but cannot or will not accept amends I have offered may want nothing less than to see me fail. They will not have that control over me, even if insecurity might want me to yield just to avoid a problem. But a bigger problem looms if I permit anyone or any situation to implant in me deeper insecurity or a disgraced self-confidence and self-respect. Today, with the principles of the Program as my lifeline, I will hold tightly onto what I have gained and will not allow anyone or anything to take it from me - not even alcohol. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
