Just for today, I will try to listen to learn, and learn to listen. My concentration isn't what it use to be, so have to make a real effort to sit and keep my mind quiet and open at the same time.

Just for today, I will focus on what I need to do, not on what I want to do. Sometimes, things pile up and I get behind, because I have my nose in a book. Other times my books pile up, because I am running around to doctors or going down to the mall.

Just for today, I will ask for what I need. I have a doctor's appointment and I have to make a list so I won't forget.

Just for today, I will practice my acceptance. I had the thought to right down all my symptoms and questions I had for my doctor, and I forgot. I am grateful I was given the thought, wish I had followed it up with action as I forgot to talk to my doctor about my swollen feet. Oh well, something for next month.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. Not only with my son, but with myself.

Just for today, I will try to concentrate and focus on what is important in my life. I will live each moment as it comes and not wish my day away.

Just for today, I will give myself a break. I won't be such a hard task master. I did a lot today, so I need to be gentle with myself. When I get feeling good and start doing, I tend to over do.

Just for today, I will connect with others. This is a "We" program. That is how the program works, one alcoholic/addict sharing with another alcoholic/addict. Alcohol is a drug. Just for today, I will let go and let my God, so I can have soundness of mind and maintain my serenity.

Just for today, I will give thanks for the goodness in my life. Today worked like a charm, my Higher Power doing for me what I could not do for myself. As Clint Eastwood use to say, "I love it when a plan comes together." I didn't plan on going to see my chiropractor today. My body told me I needed to go and I listened. I picked up the phone and called and got an appointment for this afternoon, the taxi driver made good time and it cost me less than it normally does, and I got right in and didn't even get to sit in a chair. It was a beautiful day and I had no problems with walking for a bus. Decided to treat myself to lunch at Mr. Sub. 6" chicken teryaki sweet onion sub, $4.20 with tax. I went to the library, got an express book, picked up another one at the favorites shelf, and went into section where they place books that are ordered, and found a book there for me. The bread that I like was on sale for $1.99 instead of $3.79, and when I came out of the grocery store, my bus came in less than five minutes. I knew I was where I was suppose to be in today. Right where I was. I even finished my book in time to post.

F.R.O.G. Fully Relying On God.

Just for today, I will turn my feeling over to my Higher Power and ask for a healthy way of expressing them and letting them go. Anger is a danger. Resentments are killers. When I take me out of blame and shame, there isn't much left.

Just for today, I will show my love and support of others. I will share my experience, strength, and hope so that others may know there is a better way of life. Recovery has been very good to me. It is only right that I pass it on to others.

Just for today, I will appreciate the beauty of creation. Everything was made before God created man. It is my belief that they were put on this earth to sustain us mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Just for today, I will be grateful. Just heard tonight that a friend is having a gratitude meeting on Tuesday. He is celebrating 4 years.

Just for today, I will affirm myself instead of doing a number on myself. If mental bruises showed, I would be black and blue.

Just for today, I will remember that gratitude is an action word. I won't just say it, I will show it, by sharing my recovery with others and remember to thank the people that my God has put in my path on my recovery road.
