I really wrote this in response to the thread entitled "How do I remain sober?" And I have battled that question hard, many times. I have learned, and am learning every day, that my sobriety is TODAY. That is it. I hate to be an AA quoter here, and I can't quote the poem verbatim, but I'll give it a shot
There are only two days you should never worry about - Yesterday and Tomorrow
Yesterday is done, with it's foibles and doubts and guilt
Tomorrow, the sun will rise or it won't, and you will have no control over that, so there is no point wasting time wondering about it
Which leaves one day - Today. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day.
And I believe that. I can fight the battles of today. I can not project tomorrow. I cannot feel guilt, loss, regret, remorse, over the past. It is gone. There is no changing it, and I will not dwell in it.
126 days of clarity. Deep breath in and out.
