E is for Everlasting. The program doesn't grow old, it is just as valid in today as it was 70 years ago. Each day is a new beginning. What I do today will not help me stay sober tomorrow, but it will give me hope for a better tomorrow, if I continue to apply the program to my life, one day at a time.

F is for Forgiveness. We need to forgive our self as well as forgiving others.

G is for Gratitude. We finished our meeting with a gratitude meeting. What a great time of the year to stop and think about what we have to be grateful for.

God is Good. Good is God. May you show your gratitude by giving thank for His wonderful Grace and Blessings in today, so we can finish the year off with goodness in our hearts.

H is for Help. Don't be afraid to ask for help. This is a "We" program. We are no longer in the self-centered mode of thinking we can do it all ourselves mode. We can do what I can't do alone.

I is for Integrity

Learn to walk your talk!

J is for Joy. May you celebrate the holiday clean and sober. Just for today, I choose not to use. If you aren't enjoying yourself, what are you doing wrong. Perhaps you need a meeting, a change in attitude, a talk with your sponsor, a hand to give to a fellow friend who is struggling too.

K is for Keep

Keep it Simple.

L is for List. List the reason why you are grateful. List your character defects that can turn into short coming. List what needs to be changed that no longer serves me in today. List what my God has done for me. Things that I can`t take credit for. List the ways your God has done for you what you were never able to do for yourself. So much to be grateful for. My God`s Love and Support, let me count the ways.

M is for More. My drug of choice was more. In today, I try to think more recovery. When I apply my program on a daily bases, I have a good day. It is one day at a time, no less or no more. It is a 24 hour program, not a 2-4 hour program.

N is for New. This is the last day of 2017, tomorrow God Willing, we will start a new day. Be here for the newcomer today, so he can stay clean and sober to start a new year.

O is for Open. Keep an open mind. Hesitate and Meditate before you open your mouth. Open your heart to receive your God's Love. We are suppose to give, but we need to be open to receiving too.

P is for Persevere. If at first we don't succeed, try, try, again. The last letter of JusT foR todaY. spells TRY.

Q is for Quiet. Listen for the quiet, and when you find it, say the Serenity Prayer. How can we expect to hear our God's Good Orderly Direction if we are caught up in our internal chatter. As they say, "Be still and know that I am God." Better our God instead of our own self-will.

R is for Recreation/Leisure Activities

Find recreational and leisure activities which you can do. I started drawing and painting again when I sobered. I read books, go to sporting events (high school and college), do gardening in the summer months, go for walks. The list of things to do is endless. Find things to do that makes you happy and you have fun doing and start doing it. One of the benefits to doing rec/leisure activities is that it is good for your mental and physical health.

S is for STAY. If you want to stay clean and sober, do the suggested things in recovery. If you want to stay clean and sober, stay in the rooms of recovery, get a sponsor, and work the Steps. Socializing is good. Finding sobriety is better. It keeps you in the rooms of recovery long enough to recover.
