Alcohol Recovery Without 12 Steps Community Group

This group was created to explore various recovery paths for Alcoholism. We generally chose to explore paths outside of the AA model, or ones which incorporate, but are not limited to AA. Anyone wanting to learn and explore how to become free from alcohol addiction are welcome. Our main goal is to support each other with compassion and decency, while remaining open minded...

Today, I will solve the problems of today. I might have become so focused on solving all the problems in my life that I haven't noticed the little problems that arise each day.

Do I have anything that needs to be completed or resolved today? I will take a moment each day and work on what I need to do just for that day. Even though solving long-term problems is necessary, so is solving the smaller daily problems. Not allowing things to pile up keeps me from feeling overwhelmed.

Today I will pay attention to what needs to be solved today.

Great reminder. I am working on improving in this area. To take it a step further I try and think is there anything I can do today that can wait till tomorrow. Getting it done ahead of time also helps reverse that over whelmed feeling.

I do find that functioning one day at at time is much easier for me.

Great reminder!

Peace!

Lol, well today I have a bday party for a 7 year old with 10 kids coming over. Today I have to work on potty training my 2 year old. Today I have to pack for a three day international business trip leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow. Today I have to cook 3 meals (1 down) for 5 people.
Today I'm too busy to drink.

I might be the opposite. Maybe I should spend a little more time worrying about some of the bigger problems in my life.

I guess I could do both.

Thank God potty training a 2 year old isn't on my today list....
