| Twenty Four Hour Living Quote:
For me: I read BB pages 86-88 shortly after waking up. They remind me how to behave for the next 24 hours. Those three pages give me clear-cut instructions for any situation that may arise throughout the day. Personally, I need to read them each morning in order to be reminded. That's just the type of alcoholic I am. Today I'll also continue to search for the Great Reality deep down within. I do this by being rigorously honest about my motives and the motives for my motive's motives. Maybe today I will be honest enough to sweep away another cobweb of delusion. I also plan on attending group conscience, calling my sponsor, and calling my sponsee. All quotes from BB 1st Ed. | |

I like the idea of one day at a time as a spiritual concept. I used to spin things out of control. If something happened I would make it into a whole story in my head that would last long into the future whether good or bad. Meet a hot guy— I was imagining the wedding. Career setback— my thoughts were it will never ever work out. Now I take things as they come and try to take them for what they are not concoct stories around them in my head. It has cut down on my anxiety and generally made for a better and fuller life. Like this the possibilities are endless and the time is manageable. |

Living a day at a time is very important to me. For the last week I have been doing morning meditation, which is great. I sometimes read a few pages of a recovery book first. I am reading Zen of Recovery at the moment. I have a list of things that need doing (each day) and make sure I do at least some of them, if not then they get carried over to the next day. I also try to practice mindfulness throughout the day.
