Default I choose recovery for today.

I choose recovery for today.

I don't want to disappoint the people who count on me, but I'm afraid to promise that I'll stick to this recovery stuff forever. I don't know if I can do it. Frankly, I feel suffocated by the idea of never using anything ever again, of going to meetings for years--I can't imagine spending my whole life in recovery.

The span of a whole life is impossible to imagine. We have no idea how long we're going to live, what unforeseen things will take place in our lifetime, or even how a small choice we make today may in some way change the person we grow to be tomorrow. If I try to imagine doing anything "forever" or "for my whole life," I'm overwhelmed. Fortunately, no one here is asking me to promise that. The program suggests only that we get through one day--today--without using an addictive substance. Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is not here yet. My whole life is now, and now is all that need concern me. Sometimes even a twenty-four-hour period feels overwhelming, so I break it down into hours and go through the day an hour at a time. Some days I've even had to think in terms of just one minute at a time. Using substances we're addicted to comes naturally to us; a day in which we choose recovery instead is a highly successful day.

I let go of yesterday and tomorrow. I choose recovery for today.
