“A single day is enough to make us a little larger.” – Paul Klee
In the beginning of my recovery journey I needed to break the chain of addiction. I could not see past the day let alone a long and prosperous recovery. I had little hope because every attempt to recover in the past I had failed at in my mind! I was told to take it one day at a time. Although it seemed to be ridiculous to think that way I took the leap of faith.
Every time I began to think of the future, things like how do you get married if you can not do the toast to a great future? Heck I did not have a girlfriend and I was worried about marriage! I worried about Christenings, funerals (the Irish ones of course) everything in my life revolved around the drink! It was natural to me, I simply could not comprehend a life free of alcohol. What fun would I ever have?
Well taking it one day at a time my perspective slowly changed. Today at a wedding I chuckle at all the idiots that get drunk and make fools of themselves. That was me! Today I enjoy life one day at a time, day by day!
Go, Go, Go…
Dan 🙂
