All We Have Is Now

[MajestyJo]

We can only live now, this moment. We cannot erase the mistakes we made yesterday or bring back the good times we had. We cannot know what tomorrow will require of us, nor can we ensure future security and happiness. Now is what we have, and now is everything.

Food for Thought

No matter what I have done, right or wrong, it can't be undone, it can't be something that I can grasp onto and take with me, it is just a hope and a promise for today.

Just for today, I have to make a decision to turn my day over and ask for help to live in the moment and help to make healthy decision and choices. I can't undo it, I need to let it go. Even what happened at 9 a.m. this morning is old news. My moment is now, the next 24 hours is my day when I turn it over or I can wait until bedtime, midnight, and give thanks and start again.

The piece of cake with chocolate icing that my son told me I shouldn't eat, that I justified by saying, "It is only a small piece," and I can let it go, or have another piece in this moment, and then in turn ask for forgiveness from my Higher Power for two pieces instead of just one.

Love yourself, you are worthwhile, you do deserve recovery.
