Attitude is everything...!

I've noticed recently that a lot of newcomers appear to be focused on "When will...." subjects, like when will I be able to sit around with my friends as they drink, when will the cravings go away, when will I feel better... etc.

No one is guaranteed tomorrow, or even guaranteed an hour from now. Focus on the present, and let the future emerge as it will. Resist the 'when will' thoughts.

For me, 'projecting' into the future with 'when will' and 'what if' thinking was always a losing cause. Too much for me to comprehend. I need to stay more in today.

Hope that might help someone.
