Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
When I was new in recovery I cut out each of these suggestions and put then in a small jar .I would take one out each day and try to do as suggested. It was a great help to me.
Just For Today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whle life problem at once, I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just For Today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that, most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Just For Today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes and fit myself to it.
Just For Today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires mental effort and concentration.
Just For Today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I do not want to do- just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just For Today I will be agreeable, will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Just For Today I will have a program,- I may not be able to follow exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests; hurry and indecision.
Just For Today I will have a quiet half hour all to myself, and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just For Today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
God grant me the Serenity to accept things I cannot change, Courage to change things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
God Bless

It is all about today.
Thanks for sharing.
So I guess thats why its Just For Today.
It was suggested to me to live every day as if it was my last. Because one day it will be.
So I try to live in the Now/ No Other Way. Take care of the inches and they will look after the miles.
God Bless

But, thank you for the post, and for suggesting I just do 1 or 2 a day, now I have a new way of looking at it.
