Just for Today
Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012
Just for today, I will remember that, as a drinking alcoholic, I was my own judge, jury and executioner. In giving my all to whiskey, I judged myself to be unworthy of anything better, of feeling anything good. I deemed myself guilty of deserving all that active alcoholism inflicted on me - emptiness, loneliness, self-destruction, anger, seflishness, desperation, fear. And I executed the judgment that I should die as I lived - then. But a lifeline was thrown my way, and it led me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Now, as a recovering alcoholic, I've surrendered the roles of judge, jury and the only Power that can impose judgment to that Power. And because I respect that Authority highly, this day, I will not play with my recovery by yielding it to anyone or anything else. Today, I am worthy of more by the grace of God and AA. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
