Just for today
"When we stop living in the here and now, our problems become magnified
unreasonably"
Basic Text, p.96
"Just for today"-it's a comforting thought. If we try to live in the past, we
may find ourselves torn by painful, disquieting memories. The lessons of our
using are not the teachers we seek for recovery. Living in tomorrow means moving
in with fear.
We cannot see the shape of the secret future, and uncertainty brings worry. Our
lives look overwhelming when we lose the focus of today.
Living in the moment offers freedom. In this moment, we know that we are safe.
We are not using, and we have everything we need. What's more, life is happening
in the here and now. The past is gone and the future has yet to arrive; our
worrying won't change any of it. Today, we can enjoy our recovery, this very
minute.
Just for today: I will stay in the here and now. Today - this moment - I am free
