One day at a time reminds me that life does not happen to me all at once and that I shouldn't treat it as though it did. When I decfided I wanted to stop drinking, my fears were what will I do this New Year's Eve, if I'm not drinking? What will I do on my birthday, if I'm not drinking? But, really, I don't have any control over things that have not happened yet just as the same as I cannot change things that have already happened. All I really have control over are the events happening right now and not even those are things I can control. I can only control how I respond to them, today. So, I tried just not drinking for one day, today. It's true that I have been doing that for just over 10,000 days but who's counting.
