June 30 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON

June 30 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:

The time I spend in reviewing the past, mourning over past mistakes and failures, is time lost.

This is why the twenty-four hour concept, both in AA and Al-Anon, is so strongly emphasized.

Our yesterdays have no importance except as experience in making today more fruitful. Regrets and self-condemnation for what we did or left undone only destroy the self-esteem we could derive from a balanced view of ourselves.

TODAY’S REMINDER

Regrets for hurtful things I have done to others may be healed by making amends as well as I can. Regrets for missed opportunities will vanish as I try to make wise choices today. Let me fill this one day with thoughts and actions I will have no need to regret. Let me undertake only as much as I can accomplish well, without haste or tension.

“Just for today, I will live through this one day only and not tackle all my problems as once. Those of the past need not concern me today; future ones can be faced as they arise.” (Al-Anon: Just for Today)
