Just for today, I will focus on MY recovery. Life happens and we have to learn how to handle it, one day at a time. I have to align me with me, not with people around me.

Just for today, I will try to lower my expectations. I had a very busy day yesterday, so will not expect myself to repeat it. It is important to do, but not over do. Some things can be put off until tomorrow, but something's are not,, like my laundry.

Just for today, I know you're trying to stay motivated. I will try to concentrate on what has to be done, instead of what I want to do. I always need to ask my Higher Power for help and directions.

GOJust for today, I will
an practice patience. I looked at this section and passed it by. My God whispered to me patience. It was like He knew I was going to write the post and lose it when I was almost finished. 🐱. I need to be patient with myself I want to GO and it is starting to build up into a storm and my legs are hurting and not capable of taking me far, maybe downstairs and back. It is the old dis-ease talking, I want it and I want it now. That is why I come here to post, I read to fill up on spiritual things.

Just for today, I will try to be patient with myself. Just can't do what I use to do. Not because I relapsed, but because I am having lapses into old age or if you will, senility.

Just for today, I will come to a decision to place my day into and 7ththe Hands of my God. TWhen I Rd
T7 d up this afternoon, I couldn't remember if I had said the Serenity Prayer this morning. Made the decision to say it again, just in case I forgot. I always use the 3rd and 7th Step Prayers to Apply Step 3 to my life daily. I like to include Step 7, it helps me to get out of the way, so my God can work through me instead of having to work around me.

Just for today, I will try to be more accepting of what is. This getting old is for the birds. With dry air my skin is wrinkling and soaks up lotion like a sponge. Have not had many wrinkles so I guess it had to happen sometime. I credited it to no soap and go gook on my face, only selective ones over the years, never on a regular basis

Just for today, I am praying for patience and tolerance. I have lost posts, my screen has been jumping around and doing weird things. I tried to play pool and it was embarrassing.
Came on the internet and my patience was left behind in the community room.

Just for today, I will try to get a better perspective on my life. This is a one day at a time program, and I need to continue working my program, renewing and adjusting it to fit into my life in today. What worked 'then' may no longer serve me in today. I have a disease of perception. I need to pray and have it healed along with all my other defects of character.
When I fall short of who my God would have me be in today, I need to turn my life and my will over to the God of my understanding.

Just for today, I will try to be more focused and renew my program in today.
Tonight at the AA meeting, the Grapevine rep was there. I bought a book called Emotional Sobriety. Hope it will help with the feelings of being sick and tired of being tired and sick. Those were the feelings I had when I came into recovery, not something I want to experience 28 years later.

Just for today, I will not focus on my pain, but focus on the solution. What do I need to do to change it. What did I do or didn't do to cause it.

Just for today, I will let go of any envy and jealousies that may creep into my thinking.
Everyone seems to play pool better than I do. I have to remember it is just a game and not worth fretting over. I make the occasional Good shot then follow it up with a real dumb shot and sewer or some other miss cue. I can't take it seriously and just relax and enjoy the new friendships.

Just for today, I will go back to basics. I will talk to my sponsor, I will go to meetings, I will do service, I will do Step work. When I am hurting like I am tonight, I become vulnerable. I need this program just as much in today as I did when I walked through the doors of Mary Ellis (later to be Womankind) in November of 1991. I had tried my way for 8 years. My way didn't work. I came, I came to, and I came to believe the program would work for me too. I am an addict and I went to AA for my denial, to NA for identification, my drug of choice was more. It is a family disease, so I went to Al-Anon too.

Just for today, I will try to not let my anger and resentments cloud my judgment, invade my thoughts. Hit a wrong button and don't know how to fix things.

Just for today, I will follow my God's Will for my life, and stop trying to make things happen on this end. Somethings are best le
instead of left alone. Letting go isn't easy, others fall as they may and do the next right thing.they may and try to do the next best thing.

Just for today, I will continue to pray that my perception is clear and I am aware of what is in the moment.
By the looks of things, we haven't been doing too much chipping. Will have to make a New Year's resolution to be more watchful.

Just for today, I will work on my patience and tolerance of myself. Not doing to well.
Just looked out the window and it looks quite moist. So far drizzle by the looks of things. Don't plan to get too close to it.

Just for today. I will be unafraid. My thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are NOT using and have found a better way of life.
This is true with my moved to a new residents. I am trying to be more sociable. The best way to deal with pain, is to get out of Self. Helping others. Running errands, loaning an ear, a walk in. The park, but not alone, a shared meal, it always helps the other person,but we benefit too.

Just got today, I will accept what is in the moment. I hope it decides to change quickly as I am sick.
I expected great things from me in today, only nothing got done. It has been a long time since I had a headache that won't quit.
I am trying for patience. The word came up in my meditation cards tonight.
