”Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered by older nonsense.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

As addicts in recovery we are often in a state of managing our lives one day at a time. We may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start to put our feet back on the right path. It is important to remember that there is only so much time for us each day and therefore only a limited number of tasks we can accomplish. It’s okay if we do not do as much as we would have liked or planned to do. Tomorrow is another day, and we can start to take things as they come. We will begin to learn how to manage our lives and affairs while making use of the tools of the program. It’s also important to remember to take time and celebrate our accomplishments each day, no matter how big or small.

Affirmation Today I will accept my limit of how much I can accomplish and rejoice in the victories no matter what size they may be. Today is but a stepping stone and tomorrow is always on the horizon.
