S I T = Stay In Today.

It is much easier to stay in today when I realize that I don't quit forever and ever and that all I have to do is stay sober for 24 hours. My day can start any time and this is especially true, when I have such a disruptive sleep pattern. Some days are short while others are long. Some days up four hours, down four hours. Other times, up from 26-36 hours with a couple of hours sleep in between. Each time I wake up, it is a new day.

During those long hours of no sleep, I have often had to surrender, ask for help and surrender my day. With fibromyalgia, polymyalgia, and osteo it was difficult to find acceptance. Yet when I acknolwdge the problem, ask for help, I can deal with things know that they are subject to change. Take an inventory as to what brought me to that particular space, change th things a can, and turn over the rest.

We can do what I can't do alone. Coming here and sharing my experience, strength, and hope, helps me to get out of my pain and if I look for them, the words of wisdom are there. Sometimes my fingers walk on the keyboard and I have to read what I tyed when they are finished.

So glad this is a one day at a time program.
