JUST FOR TODAY! -- Unchangeable

From "Remembering that alcoholism is an incurable, progressive, fatal disease:"

"We try never to lose sight of the unchangeable fact of our alcoholism, but we learn not to brood or feel sorry for ourselves or talk about it all the time.  We accept it as a characteristic of our body -- like our height or our need for glasses, or like any allergies we may have.  "Then we can figure out how to live comfortably -- not bitterly -- with that knowledge as long as we start out by simply avoiding that FIRST drink (remember?) just for today."

c. 1998, Living Sober, page 9

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

When we come to the realization that we have become very ill -- then we can begin to accept our situation and learn to live beyond it.  We can live comfortably – just one day at a time.  If we don’t listen to the “doctors” – our fellow recovery partners, we will soon see that this sickness is fatal -- we know it is progressive.  We must come to the realization that we will always have this sickness – and we must avoid that first drink.  One day at a Time!

“The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness” -- Psalm 41:3

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
