Just for Today
Tuesday, May 22, 2012
Just for today, I will reach into my past to measure the enormity of my present and try to grasp the immensity of the life sobriety has given me. Whereas I once was helpless, hopeless, weak, apathetic, selfish and destructive, today I have hope, strength, selflessness, compassion, passion and the courage clued by humility to tned to sobriety with awe and respect. While I cannot and do not want to live in or return to yesterday, I also do not want to forget it; its lessons can steer me from the same mistakes tomorrow. And all I have left behind and gained what I have now is through sobriety and, therefore, my sobriety is my No. 1 priority for, without it, I have nothing except for all that I pray is gone - just for today. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris, M., 2012
