Chipping Away at Defects of Character - Page 58 - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Just for Today, I will try to remember what I need for my recovery. Last night I had a ride booked with Darts. The driver must have waited and drove away and didn't phone to see where I was. I was sound of sleep and didn't here anything from 4 pm until 9:30 pm, not exactly a nap. I got 3 more hours sleep this morning. Organized I am not. Yesterday I put some doctor's appointments on the calendar that I had misplaced. So glad this program is one day at a time.

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I know the two go together, I need the patience to deal with the tolerance.

Just for today, I will make a point of saying "I love you" to those around me. Sometimes I think I take it for granted, and I need to take action, not just think it. Action comes after thought, even if I choose to not take action, I am coming to a decision.

Just for today, I will not beat myself up for forgetting to make sure I had the Gaither Gospel Hour set to record the show while I was away at my group. Seeing as my system is new, I lost all my saved recording that I had of them. I am sure they will be repeated in the future, but in today, I don't have the gospel songs. I am listening to Jazz instrumentals now.

Just for today, I will build up my energy. I went to get laundry ready and I got tired before I got it out the door. I gave come to the conclusion that eating cinnamon and raisin bagels are not foods that build up your strength. So I have been doing some meditation. I woke with out any pain, so I figured it would be a good time to do laundry. Right, but couldn't get it all on my walker and out the door to go to the 3rd floor.

MajestyJo · 03-19-2018, 06:43 PM

Just for today, I will try not to beat myself up some more. Haven't been to sleep since 9 pm yesterday. Coming up on 24 hours, but hope to be in bed asleep by then.

MajestyJo · 03-20-2018, 06:35 PM

Just for today, I will keep working my program. Today it has been putting one foot in front of the other, but it didn't take me very far. I was reminded to pray for the willingness to be willing. I have a cold that won't go away. I have too big for my shoes.

MajestyJo · 03-21-2018, 07:50 AM

Just for today, I will turn my day over to my God and let Him lead and guide me. Hopefully He can get me to where I need to go, because I feel like cancelling everything. Pain can be such a bummer, but I can't let it dictate my day. My right foot is paining and I don't want to stand on it, let alone walk on it.

MajestyJo · 03-22-2018, 10:46 AM

Just for today, I will pray on some patience. I am suppose to have a nurse come and bandage my feet and I don't know what time she is coming. I don't do waiting well, I think of all the things I should be doing, the key word being should. I seem to be shouding a lot lately, like I should do laundry. I want to go downtown to the mall, I am going through withdrawal.

MajestyJo · 03-23-2018, 06:05 AM

Just for today, I will quiet my mind, say the Serenity Prayer and ask for what I need for my health and well being according to my God's plan for my life.

In today, I try to be God conscious instead of self-conscious.

One of my favourite pictures.

MajestyJo · 03-24-2018, 10:33 AM

Just for today, I will listen to my body and listen to what it says. For so many years I ignored it and did what I did any way. Sometimes it is good to put our pain aside and work through it, but we often quit, when we should take that extra step. Have hit a wall this morning, and I am having trouble concentrating, not just posting but watching curling too. I have a ringing in my ears, but no one seems to want to pick up the phone and say hello.

MajestyJo · 03-25-2018, 11:46 AM

Just for today, I will practice patience with myself. Still awake, but have done some yawning, so maybe now I can find some sleep.

I had to be patient with the nurse who had lots of questions and pages of paper work to fill out.

MajestyJo · 03-27-2018, 05:15 PM

Just for today, I am planning to give myself some TLC. I am not feeling up to par, even my fingers are having problems keeping up.

MajestyJo · 03-28-2018, 10:40 AM

Just for today, I will make an effort to get out and connect with people. My spirit has been too isolated recently. I haven't been outside since my group on Friday and that was just across the street. I hope to go to the mall after I go to the chiropractor today. I need to get out and get in touch with Mother Earth.

MajestyJo · 03-29-2018, 09:06 AM

Just for today, I will remember the words, "God doesn't make no junk." As my son reminded me this morning, I am getting old and soon I will be getting older. My birthday is closing in, and I have to remember to stay in today. More importantly to me, each day is a new beginning, so I have to make the most of each day.
