Just for today, I will focus on my recovery. What do I need to do for my sobriety. My sponsor said that sobriety meant soundness of mind. For me, that means working on my emotional well being. In order to obtain that, I need to focus on my spiritual sobriety, so that I don't get the thoughts of picking up. Stinking thinking can lead to picking up. It doesn't have to be my drug of choice, it can be something else, which in turn will take me back to active addiction. The substance is but a symptom of my dis-ease.

Just for today, I will ask for my God`s Will for me and the power to carry that out. I will to will His Will, not mine be done.

Just for today, I will let go of my resentment. I want to go out and about because the sun is shining, but my left hip and right knee, keep giving out on me. I really want to go to the noon meeting, but don't think my leg will let me stand on it, let alone walk. I did a healing meditation last night, so I guess it is back to the drawing board and have a little more faith.

Just for today, I will work through my issues, be it mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical. They can make themselves known in many ways, often the emotional will let you know through the physical, etc. If you feel like you don't have a leg to stand on, perhaps you are feeling insecure. If you have an ear ache, perhaps there is something you need to heed and listen to. If you have a sore throat, perhaps you are suppressing words that need to be expressed.

Just for today, I will live in the moment. Today is February 25, 2016. I am not going to look a head and project that Christmas is 10 months away from today.

I know that when I stay in today, thing will unfold and the Good Orderly Direction will be there when I need it.

Just for today, I will prioritize and put first things first. The most important is my sobriety. I was talking to a friend in the mall today and had a mini-meeting. He affirmed and we agreed that we need emotional sobriety, and that we had a thinking problem not a drugging problem. A drug is a drug, no matter what form it takes. It is the thinking behind the picking up that caused most of the problems. Problems we stay stuck in. And as my first spiritual adviser and NA sponsor said, "Challenges, we can overcome."

Just for today, I will listen to my body. I am hoping it will say, I am up to doing laundry! My pain has eased and now I hope it will allow me to sleep and wake up rested to get some much needed work done.

Just for today, I will "Live and let live." I got a call from my son last night to say he would be here at 6 p.m. and I haven't heard from him since. No need for him to call, just another one of those weekends he is doing his thing and I have to let go, live my life and allow him to live his. I don't want him around when he is using, so it is best that he stay away. It is his choice and I can't let his choices ruin my day by taking on his stuff.

Earlier today, I had chest pains. Not sure if it was anxiety or not, but had to do a prayer and meditation session and ask for help.

My left him gave out about 8 p.m. so the treatment helped, but needs more work, it wasn't fixed by one or two treatments. I go Monday and Tuesday for the ultra sound on it and my ankles. I need to stay in the moment. Do what I need to do for myself and live my own life, what ever that brings.

Monkey:
Monkey teaches the balance of dark and light, he brings awareness the darker side of oneself, aids in seeing both sides of all communication methods. Are you showing your creativity at this time? Is it time to examine an ancient wisdom you just encountered? Monkey ignites the inspiration and imagination from the deep recesses of the self and mind and teaches how to move within/without, above and below.

Just for today, I will be happy. I have a choice, no matter what the day may bring. I need to think happy, happy, happy!

Just for today, I am glad I got here before the day runs out and it is time to start my day again. I am grateful that February is gone, it has never been a month that has been kind to me for some reason. Maybe I expect it to be bad and I need to change my attitude. It is always subject to change any way, no matter what month it is.

Just for today I will embrace all my impurfecshuns... As in the 7th step prayer I will accept the good and bad in me. I know there is bad in the best of me and good in the worst of me. I am a work in progress and if I find myself in the depths of despair "this too shall pass" or on the highest peak of awareness "this too shall pass." The old addage is true for me "if you don't know sorrow, how can you know joy?" Enjoying the journey, one day at a time....:)

Just for today, I will do what I need for my health and well being. That means I have to step back and pause, and go get something to eat. I still haven't had dinner, and I need to feed by body, mind and spirit. I did my meditation and came here to the site, so now I need to make my grilled cheese.

Just for today, I will apply the slogan H.A.L.T. to my life. I will listen to my body and not try to rationalize and justify my thoughts and actions. It is important to be myself and not question my day when I turn it over to my Higher Power. If I am doubting myself, I am doubting my God.

Just for today, I will affirm that I am worthy of recovery. Respect must be earned, it is something that I have to give myself, if I want others to respect me. Let it begin with me.

Just for today, I will work on my acceptance. In the moment, my son has his phone shut off and I can't get hold of him. I got a call from one of his friends and they couldn't contact me either so phoned me to leave a message.

When I shared with a woman after the meeting, I said, "Acceptance is the key." I need to practice what I preach. LOL!
