December 15 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
December 15 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
I am learning to recognize in myself any immoderate emotional reactions to things that happen or to something that is said to me. If I notice that I still squirm and agonize over past mistakes and disappointments, I will observe that and correct it. Likewise, I will guard against thoughts of dread of what may happen in the future. How can I know what’s going to be?
This awareness comes through the study of the Al-Anon program. It shows me how to overcome these handicaps by taking care of just one little day at a time.
This one day, I can easily cope with, if I have not frittered away my energies on destructive emotions, and if I do not provoke antagonism by criticisms, complaints and reproaches.
TODAY’S REMINDER
When anything happens to disturb me on this one day, I will ask myself, “Is it my problem?” – “Does it really matter so much?” – “Is it important?”
“Today I will observe how I react and what I am tempted to say or do.”
