I am sensing a lot of frustration and hurt feelings on this board today. And since I am not a fully recovered codependent I feel the need to practice my lessons in directness (and be a fixer ). Let's start a positive post about our specific daily journey to recovery and whole body wellness.

I'll start...
Just for Today, I will take 30 minutes out of my day for meditation and read from the book, the Language of Letting Go as well as a passage from by Nar-Anon blue book.

Just for today (and hopefully again tomorrow! I will place my son in the hands of his/my higher power. I will trust to believe my son and I are both excactly where we are supposed to be just for today. I will continue to believe in miracles and I will treat myself gently as I navigate this path. Thanks Suz!!!

Just for today, I will trust God has a wonderful plan for me and my life. I will trust HIM with my heart.

Just for today I started my day with my daily recovery meditation. I also managed to run a few miles this morning. I don't know how I did that. I'm really struggling today. Just for today I know that I will be okay, I have love in my life and in my heart, I am very thankful for that.

Just for today:
I choose sobriety
I choose to remember what others think of me is none of my business
I choose to give the health and safety of my husband to God
I will see the glass as half full

Thank you for this thread! =]

Just for today I will try and let my husband control his own recovery. I will get my hand out of that cookie jar. I will do something just for myself. I will be thankful for the wonderful gifts I do have instead of dwelling on what I don't. I will be gentle with myself it's all about progress not perfection.

Just for today I also jogged and walked twice because it was so beautiful out. Just for today I started to do something codependent then stopped myself and apologized to my AS. Just for today I am thanking God for all the positives in my life............and for every single one of you that are here.

What great responses!
I am really struggling today with guilt and thoughts of the past.

Just for today, I will not use the words "I should have...," "I could have..." I wish I had.." when thinking on the past.
Just for today, I will not look at my choice to get a divorce as a bad choice.

Just for today, I will focus on positive things in my life. I will not badger my husband with my fears and worries and let him take responsibility for his own choices and actions. I will focus on my girls and myself. Today I will focus on the good things and let God do His work.

Just for today I will not bemoan the past or fear the future.

Just for today I will make a plan and stick to it, to make time each day to wrap myself in nature and enjoy the autumn before it slips away.
