Good morning. My thought for today is One Day At A Time. I have a sobriety milestone coming up the end of the month. When I decided to put the plug in the jug almost 29 years ago, I planned to stop drinking for that one day. The next day I chose to do it again, and again. and again and here we are all this time later. It's true I had to do more than just stop drinking, but none of the things I was required to do would have had any effect until I stopped and then doing those things allowed me to continue staying stopped. I was able to apply the one day at a time approach to more than just my drinking. I also used it in my relationship with my wife, with my relationship with my job and later I used it in my retirement. According to an app I use that tells me how long I have been sober, it has been 28 years, 11 months, and 7 days but really I have been sober since I opened my eyes at 7 am because ultimately today is all I have.
