One Day At A Time

Recovery is a day-by-day process. If we set realistic goals we can meet them. Goals like making healthy food choices today. "For this 24 hour period I will not eat compulsively. I will stick to my food plan today. I will do the best I can today and I'll deal with tomorrow when it gets here."

In recovery as in life, it helps when we forgive ourselves and let go of yesterday. Tomorrow isn't here yet. What we can change and be responsible for is the present. We can focus our energies on making the best of  today.
