Just for today, I will live in the solution instead of the problem. The problem is me, the solution is my Higher Power. I got the thought to call my friend Theresa on my way downtown. I thought I should have called her to see if she wanted to meet me. When I got home, after watching Jeopardy, I called her to say she was on my mind and to exercise my bragging rights of the fact I got the answer to Final Jeopardy and the contestants did not.

Just for today, I will remember my friends in prayer. May Gods healing power touch them and make them well.

Just for today, I will acknowledge the fact that I am worthy of recovery. I no longer have to role play and be what other people expect me to be, I can be myself. It is okay to be me. I no longer have to beat myself up or put myself down because I made a mistake and/or didn't meat a self-imposed expectation.

Just for today, I will practice rigorous honesty. I am lazy. I keep procrastinating. No matter what I do, dishes do not disappear and clothes won't wash themselves. I am hungry and I need to eat. I need to quit humming and hawing and make up my mind as to what I am going to do.

Just for today, I will give thanks for the people in my life. My son cooked me dinner while I slept after a long night in pain. I made a point of thanking him, I am often guilty of taking him for granted.

Just for today, I will do what I need to do for myself. I will take a time to meditate and connect with the God of my understand.

Just for today, I will reach out and ask for help. There are services available for seniors and all I have to do is reach out to get what I need. It is important to not discount myself. Healthy choices make for healthy living.

Just for today, I will be unafraid. I will reach out to others, people who are not using and have found a new way of life. As it says in the NA Basic Text, "So as long as I follow that way, I have nothing to fear."

Just for today, I will not underrate myself. I will endorse myself and give thanks to my God for His Care.

Just for today, I will work on my attitude. The technician who took my blood and I agreed the guy in the waiting room had a major attitude problem. She called him to register and he said, `Just a minute.` I didn`t tell her that it takes one to know one. He carried a message to me.

Just for today, I will stay in the moment. I will not project into the future. I will take life one day at a time.

Just for today, I will plant the seed of recovery. I will make the effort to get to my NA meeting tonight. There are several young men with two years of recovery. It is good to be near them and their gratitude and joy of being in recovery.

Just for today, I will pray for the willingness, to be will to do my God's Will. Today's NA Just for Today reading really spoke to me. When I put my day into His Care, good things happen. I ran into a guy yesterday and today that I hadn't seen for ten years. He asked me if the meeting was still going on Friday nights. Hope to see him there.

I was going to take a taxi with my friend to the mall and decided to walk instead of wait for her, and this guy called my name just as I was leaving my building. Today I walked out of the bank and he was standing at the outdoor cafe at the mall and he called to me again. I was where I was suppose to be.

Just for today, I will pray and ask for some patience and some acceptance. My tremon disorder has been bad lately. I know one reason is that I forgot my noon medication and didn't take my dinner medication, because i planned to eat when I got home. I didn't realize that I hadn't taken my noon medication when I had a bagel for lunch at 11 a.m. and another one at 5:45 p.m. Patience with myself and acceptance of what is in the moment. I can be my own worst enemy.

Just for today, I will accept things as they are, knowing they are subject to change. At least,, I hope they are to change.
