AA Thought for the Day

November 25, 2007

Here-and-Now

We discover from our Serenity Prayer
that one of the things we cannot change is time.
The Here-and-Now is the only reality,
whereas in the unreal world of the drinking alcoholic
there was only yesterday-and-tomorrow.
The grace of sobriety lies in accepting the fact
that the past is nonexistent and the future lies only in the present.

Thought to Ponder....

When I live in the past, it costs me the present.
