Step by Step
Sunday, Feb. 8, 2015
Today, by living only for today without reaching into yesterday and bringing its baggage into today and by leaving tomorrow to its own time, I am reminded that my sobriety is a reprieve from drinking - but only for today. I have no guarantee that my current 24 Hours of sobriety will carry into tomorrow, if there is one, and I cannot take for granted that what is mine today won't be thrown away - by me - tomorrow. And while I have no guarantee that my sobriety today will be mine tomorrow, I CAN improve the chances by doing today what the Program requires of me - to tend to the business of today and not yesterday or tomorrow, to seek through contact with my Higher Power absolute and unconditional surrender, faith, gratitude and humility, and NOT to do to anyone what I would not want done to me. By strengthening the foundation of my sobriety today, the storms of tomorrow, if there are any, will be weakened by my sobriety then. But today's business must be tended to first, and today is my business. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2015
