As I sit back and think to myself “How did I get here?” many thoughts come to mind:
- The Pandemic
- Working from home
- Stress at work
- My drinking got a away from me
- 1000 other thoughts
However, the truth is: It doesn’t matter! I am here and no amount of worry or overthinking can bring back yesterday.
“There are two days in each week about which we should not worry”
Twenty-four hours a day
Another Truth is that I don’t want to be anywhere else and I don’t regret how I got here. There are many things I’ve learned on my recovery journey and one of the most important things I’ve learned is that we live one day at a time. To do that there is no dwelling on the past and no need to worry about what is to come. To steal a line out of Twenty-Four Hours a Day “There are two days in each week about which we should not worry” Those days are yesterday and tomorrow. Things happen for a reason and as long as I have trust in my higher power I am heading in the right direction, and I hope you join me.
