Live in this moment

I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment. It takes place every day.
--Albert Camus


We live our program in one-day portions - and our actions today have immediate consequences. For instance, if we listen to a brother or a sister in the program, we may be enriched and the other person strengthened for today's challenge. We don't have to confront every temptation of life on this day - only the portion we can handle. Our old insanity would have us predict the entire story of our future from today's limited viewpoint. But our spiritual orientation
guides us to restrain ourselves. We simply live in this moment.

The rewards of recovery are granted every day. We begin with the gift of a new day and new possibilities. We now have relationships that sustain us through difficulty and give us reason to celebrate. We have a new feeling of self-respect and hope.

I am grateful for the rewards of each day in my spiritual awakening.

That's beautiful, good for you.
I hope to be were you are some day but unfortunately I have to start over.
We will win the fight, are my chances less if I'm a pacifist? lol. It's true though...
