One Tick At A Time!

[caressa]

"It's impossible-I can't do it!" We have all said that at some time or another. Next time you are tempted to do so, remember the pendulum...that it was waiting to be fixed in place, and it began to calculate for how long it would be expected to tick-day and night-60 seconds in a minute, 60 seconds in the hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. That amounted to millions of ticks! It would never be able to manage it, decided the pendulum.

"Do just one tick at a time," the clockmaker advised. "That's all that's expected of you."

So the pendulum began, just one tick at a time, and it is still ticking to this day. As the Chinese prover says, a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

We don't have to quit using for ever and ever, all we have to do is make a decision, just for today to stay clean.

One day at a time, I don't pick up.

Each day is a new beginning, all I have to do is to remember to take the first step.

It is too bad that I can't reformat these and put in new pictures.

I like this, it is one day at a time, often a minute at a time, and often a second at a time. No matter what, I can't pick up. It isn't just about my drug of choice, any drug can become a drug of choice if I don't apply the program and put that defense up about that first one.

I need to do the 1, 2, 3 Waltz every morning. I can't, God can, just for today, I choose to let Him.
