Grasp One Small Thing at a Time

One day at a time is not an AA brainchild. The Talmud said, If you grasp a small amount, you will have it. If you grasp too much, you will have nothing. Our eyes are often bigger than our stomach, and we take much more than we can possibly digest. The only proper approach to reality is to take bite-size portions. Then we do not take more than we can handle, nor are we frightened away from attempting to achieve. Sobriety is just one of many challenges to be taken in bite-size pieces. The proper amount for the average individual, regardless of the challenge, is one day at a time.
