April 25, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Saturday, April 25, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. — Albert Einstein
None of us knows anything for sure about the future. We don’t know if we’ll be sober tomorrow. But we can be sure of this moment. We get sober by moments. Our sober moments then stretch into hours, days, and years. Our program tells us to live in the present moment. This is because we can control this moment. We can’t control the past or the future. We need to have a sense of control in our life. In our illness, we were out of control. This was because we wouldn’t live from moment to moment.
Each moment is filled with as much life as we can handle. Each moment is filled with enough to keep us alive, interested, and growing!
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me find You in each moment.
Action for the Day
Today I’ll stop and focus on the present moment. I will work to see how much control I can have if I stay with the moment at hand.
