It’s only moment by moment that we experience life.
Worrying messes with how we see things—it steals the joy from experiences what could have been fun and fulfilling. But there’s so much we can learn, especially from programs like the Twelve Steps.
We can learn to live in the present instead of getting stuck in the past or future. If our old values aren’t working for us anymore, we can adopt to new ones.
We can avoid unnecessary pain by learning from others who’ve been there before. We get to understand both our strengths and weaknesses. And we can rebuild connections with people we once pushed away. By embracing change with the help of the program, we will find hope.
We start to see life unfolding as it’s meant to—moment by moment. And that kind of freedom? Nothing compares to it.
Today’s Affirmation:
No one can humiliate me today unless I accept that condition.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. She has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her recovery from addiction started in Twelve-Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
