When we first heard the slogan “One day at a time,” it probably didn’t mean much to us. But our program friends were quick to offer it as a solution to our incessant worrying about the future. Now we appreciate the relief that comes with living twenty-four hours at a time. It makes any situation manageable. Our fears about the future simply disappear, and when the future arrives, it too is manageable.
Living just for today can still seem overwhelming if we forget to seek our Higher Power’s help in our activities. That’s the key to ultimate serenity. That we can live just for today with God’s help is the program’s most important message, one we have been chosen to receive. What lucky people we are.
My companion is God. Together we can figure out what I should do in every situation I face today.
