Life is only this place, this time, and these people right here and now.---Vincent Collins(cousin of Dean!!!)
Staying in the present can be hard. This busy world pulls our focus from the present. We often wonder if the future will bring good times or bad times.
Life is right before us. Look around. Life is happening---now! The more we live in the moment, the better we feel. Why? Because we can do something about the present. We can't do anything about the future. We have choices in the present, and we can do something with our lives. Addiction ran our lives before. Now with the help of others and our Higher Power, we run our lives again. This give us peace of mind.
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, thank-you for giving back my life. Teach me how to run my life. Have me seek others when I need help. It's okay to ask for it.
Action for the Day: Today, I'll list five things I do well. Then I'll list three things I don't do well. I'll think of people who can help me, and I'll call them.

Good reminder that we cant live in the past either! What was done was done because of my addiction and today I can only remember those past mistakes, learn from them and not do the same crap again!
Reflecting on past behavior for me is good but then I have to move on and not dwell on it!
