I like the slogan one day at a time. It really helps me focus on today and what I can do now about any problem. I try to deal with things as they come. I don't "worry" about the future, but I also plan ahead so I wont be blind aided by certain things. I don't dwell on the past. But I do glance back at it to learn from things that came before and what worked and what didn't work.

I do try hard to live for today.

One day at a time is my favourite slogan. All I have is today. My NA sponsor and spiritual adivsor I met in AA made me realize this by saying, "If you got up before 7 a.m. this morning, you have more sobriety than I have." Intoday, he is approaching the 50 year mark.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow never comes. Live in today, and if you are not enjoying sobriety, what are you doing wrong.

Love Always,

Jo

I share because I care.
