Slogans ONE DAY AT A TIME I never knew what One Day at a Time meant back in the active years. I spent most of my time dwelling about the past or predicting the future. I never actually lived in the day. I didn't even exist. My main goal in life was to help the alcoholic stop drinking. After many years of active drinking the time finally came when my alcoholic realized he had a problem and seeked help. I was informed that I too needed to get help. I went to my first Al-anon meeting when my alcoholic was in rehab. It made no sense why I had to seek help too, but I soon realized after a few meetings my part in the family disease of Alcoholism. I worried so much about the drinking that is all I focused on. I learned to live One Day at a Time. There is no point in predicting the future because I have no idea what is going to happen and most likely what I think will happen won't. No Point in dwelling on the past because that is exactly what it is the past and I can not change a thing. I learned I can only change myself and my way of thinking. Eventually I started focusing more on myself and learned to live in the moment. I taught myself how to live One Day at a Time. I worry a lot less and accept what is happening right now. I can enjoy life today and not worry about the the things I can not change. Anonymous; District 5; Area 35-NH |
