Just for Today
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
"A body badly burned by alcohol does not often recover overnight nor do twisted thinking and depression vanish in a twinkling. We are convinced that a spiritual mode of living is a most powerful health restorative." - Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd Edition, 1976, Ch 9, p 133
Just for today, grant me patience to recover in the time that is needed to overcome the years of physical, emotional and spiritual torture to which I subjected my entire being with alcohol. The words of the Big Book offer comfort that the spiritual remedy we need, and if we apply it in honesty and diligence, will restore us to some level of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness and sanity. In my impatience bred of my addiction, let me remember that I am, by nature, hungry for everything now but that not even that impatience can rush the speed of recovery. Today, I take it One Day at a Time. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
