Your post is why the concept of a, "Day at a time is so important." Today is all we need to worry about. All I need to do is stay sober today. I need to do what is necessary. In my case I pray in the morning for a day of sobriety, I talk to another alcoholic, I attend an AA meeting, and I give thanks for a day of sobriety when I go to bed. We can not control the future but we can control ourselves
