One day at a time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To day offers me a chance to make a new start at living. How can I make the best of it? I will remind myself that to day is precious and I will make it count. I have twenty four hours to spend and I will use it to make positive changes. I do have choices how I spend these 24 hours. I can choose to drink during these hours, it will have consequences for my health and wellbeing. Alternatively, I can make a choice to use these hours to enrich my life, to grow, enjoy and improve. During this twenty four hours I even have the opportunity to learn from my mistakes, since a brand new twenty four hours can begin at any moment. There is so much to appreciate in this life, I wont waste another moment feeling sorry for myself. I dont want to miss any more of the wonderful opportunities available to me to live, grow and enjoy. Just for today I choose to be sober and happy.

here , here, I agree, not another day will set with me poisoning myself with that shit again, I owe it too myself! I have actually cut out a Kate Moss pic in jeans and a nice top and lovly boots and I am going to look as good as her for my 40th...(do I hear ) ok, I know im not going to look exactly like her, nor do I want to
but I will look as good as Limey can look and im using her as positive visualisation, I will be darned if im not one hot 40 yr old in 11 weeks.!
Thanks Irish, keep em coming, I need my wise words from Irish every day to keep the focus..
