wrapping my head around the concept of not having to worry about the next day, and the day after
Living one day at a time.......or working a 24 hour program.....or staying in the moment.... I found I was only able to do these things after I hit bottom with my repeated attempts to control, manipulate and play God, recognize my powerlessness and the insanity of my actions (and beliefs).

See, if I think I'm God....and I'm in control....and I'm running the show, then I have no choice but to worry about tomorrow - or at least wonder about it and/or plan for it.

If I'm the football coach, I have to worry about covering, scoring on, and defending against every player on the other team. If I'm just a player, I only have to worry about my blocking assignment, my running my route, hitting the hole, making the catch, and so on for this next play. I don't know what's coming next and it's none of my concern...yet. I just have to perform my duties for the next play....that's it.
