Dec. 29, 2012 - Just for Today


Just for Today
Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012
Just for today, when resolutions for the coming new year are in vogue, I will make none because to do so would overlook the Program's edict to take life one day at a time. Further, I have no guarantee that an entire year is promised me, and I cannot live for a day in the future because, in doing that, I am neglecting today. The AA Program discourages us from living or looking too far ahead if today is sacrificed and encourages us to make our resolutions daily. Today, as I awaken to greet a new day, my resolution is to adhere to the Steps and Principles of the Program and not drink and, further, to grow in the sobriety I seek on this day. And our common journey continues. Just for today. -Chris M., 2012
