~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
05/12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
My courage must come each day, as does my desire to avoid a single drink, a single tranquilizer, a single addictive act. It must be a continuing courage, without deviations and procrastination, without rashness, and without fear of obstacles. This would seem like a large order indeed, were it not for the fact that it is confined to this one day, and that within this day much power is given to me. DO I EXTEND THE SERENITY PRAYER TO MY ENTIRE LIFE?
TODAY I PRAY
May each new morning offer me a supply of courage to last me during the day. If my courage is renewed each day and I know that I need just a day's worth, that courage will always be fresh and the supply will not run out. May I realize, as days pass, that what I feared during the earliest days of my recovery I no longer fear, that my daily courage is now helping me cope with bigger problems.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God give me courage -- just for today.
