Man, like the Bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once. William A. Ward
When trouble tumbles down on us, we are easily overwhelmed. We see problems facing us in the future & mountains of work to do. We look at the past & see the pain & struggle of addiction. Looking at all this, we might feel despair. We can’t handle it. We want to run. Our thoughts begin to spin; we feel caught in a whirlwind. We feel we will break.
Then, softly, we hear the words of our Twelve Step program: “One day at a time.” We find we can slow down & take a moment to let the peace of our Higher Power touch us. Now we can take one small step at a time. We can begin the task before us — doing the next right thing. By slowing down & taking action, we stop the spinning & find calm. We find that, like the bridge, we can handle the stress of the moment. And one day at a time, we can find serenity.
Today help me to stay focused on life, one moment at a time. Help me to hear the soft voice of recovery.
