Daily reading for April 23 from “As If I Was In Your Office…”
One Day at a Time “We can safely say that if I’m not in my one day at a time then I’m in my disease.” Don Russell – April 14, 2009.
Probably the hardest thing for an alcoholic to do is to stay in the moment. We pursue our wants and forget about our needs. We find a way to pursue our wants at any cost because life was all about me and my wants, whatever made me happy. We had so many wants that could never be satisfied, that we kept going until emptiness and a void appeared. There was nothing left inside of us. We were not in reality. We were not including people in our lives. Then we are in our disease causing us to spin, worry, stress, fear, judge, condemn, lie, avoid and escape and that is all diseased thinking! Most of us escaped into fantasies, a geographical cure, or some other escape.
Because we were not in a day at a time we were not in reality. We were in our disease.
My commitment today is to stay in the moment a day at a time.

Featured Testimonial
By coming to Family Support meetings with an open heart, I found a support system like no others. Brentwood staff have continued to work with my son in his Recovery while I worked my own program. This has allowed us to celebrate and grow in recovery as a family. I will be forever grateful to Brentwood!
