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.
Hi Guys just a couple of things that have changed my life and how I try to live today.
God Bless...

The Power of Now
My history has no power over me. It has value, but no power. My future has no power over me. It has value but no power. The only power of any importance in my life is the power of NOW. For now, I make the choices that define the value of what the past has taught me (or not) and the power to shape what will come to be. BE HERE NOW where the power is.
YESTERDAY TODAY AND TOMORROW
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrows sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day Today Any one can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
God Bless...

but i have never been the one to push my actions and choices into the hand of eternities. there is a thing called responsibility. our yesterday actions effect today and tomorrow.
we can all live one day at a time i think the secret is accepting and learning from the the wrong choices made and not falling back on on cliche. no offense
God grant me the laughter
to help me see the past with perspective,
face the future with hope,
and celebrate today---
without taking myself too seriously.
God Bless...
