Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day‑to‑day basis. — Margaret Bonnano
It is said, “The moment is our link to eternity, to the Divine.” Recovery gives us many messages about living in the moment: “Easy does it,” “One day at a time,” and “Just for today.”
As active addicts, we used chemicals to alter our relationship with the present. By getting high, we lived disconnected from the moment. Now we are learning that the present moment is our best point of influence. In this moment, we can choose to act from our values or to betray our values. By living in the moment, we stay connected to our Higher Power and our values. With each new day of staying sober and living a life of principles before personality, we increase our chances of doing the same in the future.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, you are found in every moment. Help me seek you out in my everyday life, not in the past or in the future, but now.
Today’s Action
Today I will practice living in the moment. If I find myself drifting into the past or the future, I will come back to the moment.
