Just for today, I have some acceptance as to what is and not defying the advice I got from the Doctor at the foot clinic yesterday. I was told to stay off my feet, and so far, got myself a donut (defiant against the food guide for diabetics), a bagel and three glasses of water. So for today, I am planning to eat healthy and stay off my poor feet. I need to allow them time to heal. I want to go to the $1. Store but going to stay home. just for today, I will not feed the addict in me who always wants more.  |

just for today was to be happy in recovery. We read a story from the Basic Text and i realized I forgot to say, I am responsible for my own happiness. Happiness comes from within.  |

Just for today, I will continue to allow my body to heal. I had lots of sleep last night but laid down at 3 pm for a nap and woke up at 9 pm. I had to phone Darts to make an amend for missing my ride to the NA meeting tonight. They put my rides on hold for Sunday and Tuesday nights and I reinstated them, and then I ended up a no show.  |

Just for today, I will listen to my body. my legs have been going numb and my right foot is paining. The sore that has been treated by VON just isn't healing inside, so that means the feet still have to be kept up and going downtown is not a good thing.  |

Just for today, I will be responsible. I won't let this do nothing day end without me meeting my responsibilities. There is no has to, there is just want to. Without posting, my day feels less than.  |

Just for today, I will do service. I will live God Centered instead of Self-Centered. I made a point of going to my group tonight. I missed last week and I felt badly. I was blessed by greeting newcomers to our group.  |

Just for today, I choose to go with the flow. That is for the rest of my day, I slept the day away. I went back to bed at 8:30 am after falling asleep in my chair for gosh only know how long. Went back to bed after a pit stop at 10:30 am and 3 pm, and woke up to get up at 8:30 pm. i would say I messed up my day, hope the night goes by better  |

Just for today, my goal is to get to the NA meeting tonight. The sun is shining and I would like to walk to the mall, but that may be pushing it. I woke up at 7 am and already feel like going back to my bed. I just try to listen to my body and do what I can do in the moment.  |

Just for today, I will take it as it comes. I have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my weekly meds and my bagels. The rest is up for grabs. The way I feel in the moment, I am heading back to bed. ![]()  |

Just for today, I will take first things first. My goal for today is to go to my Tuesday night NA meeting. If it stays sunny, I may try going to the mall to get some exercise. I woke up with cramping in my hips and thighs, so may just end up walking down to the pharmacy to return last week's docette, and be happy with that.  |

Just for today, I ask for forgiveness in my tardy posting today. I didn't sleep, I picked up a book that I couldn't put down. I eventually had, so I might as well as done it in the first place. Look at all the Is posted, self-will run riot. I was also not in the mood to fight with my computer.  |

Just for today, I will trust the process. Tonight I asked the chair person if we could have a discussion on change and asked if he could find a reading on the topic. It turned out that the reading for today in the NA Just for Today meditation book was on 'resistance to change.' and we also read a portion of Tradition One. For me it is without you,, there is no me.  |

Just for today, I will stay in the moment and let the unfold as it is, not how I want it to be. I have been awake since 8 p.m. yesterday, so need to find some sleep. I will try not to force solutions.  |

Just for today, I will put some gratitude in my attitude. I have a chiropracctor's appointment. if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be walking. He has also helped me to maintain a measure of sanity and has helped me with my headaches. it is suppose to storm big time, so hope to get there, go to the library and the bank and home before it rains, so i need some acceptance and patience too.  |

Just for today, I will continue to work on my patience and tolerance. I took all the books that i hadn't read from a new author to me after I had picked up some other books that looked interesting. A little of that patience and tolerance has to go to myself, not just with other things.  |

Just for today, I will not be judgmental. They say, "Judge not, less you be judged." Today I was judging myself because I woke up and thought it was Friday, got dressed, crossed the street, went up and knocked on the door because it was locked. it was 10 to 7, so I thought one of the members was inside and forgot to open the door. Went down and knocked on the door of the custodians only to find out it was Thursday, not Friday. I set the alarm when I came home from the foot clinic, so I could sleep and not miss the meeting. A definite JoAnne thing, but others said they have done it too. When i was leaving, the woman who came to me and asked me to open my Group Freedom of Recovery was going in as i was coming out. Had a little meeting with her. I phoned a good friend and had a talk with her before I started posting tonight. When you get honest, good things happen.  |

Just for Today, i will work through my pain. I will acknowledge and accept it, knowing what it is from, and ask what I need to get through it. i need to love myself. I can't let my pain rule my life. I can't take things that block it and submerge it into that inky blackness of addiction. i have to feel it in order to let it go.  |

just for today, I ask for patience and tolerance. I have had to reboot twice and close down and window twice and bring up a new one. i have to shut off my computer again; it is so hot, even my desk is warm around it. This time it will have to cool off for more than an hour.  |

Just for today, I will try to stay in the moment and be accepting of what is, be it gun shots and sirens, I will be grateful that I am safe in my apartment. Had a big sleep, not a nap, so grateful for it and try not to lament me missing my NA meeting.  |

. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
