That's right today not tomorrow not yesterday but today.
I'm not going to think about past falls.
I'm not going to think about future challenges.
I won't use the regret and depression about the past for a excuse for now.
I won't use the fear of the greatness of the challenge of the future for a excuse for now.
Now and right now is a big enough challenge for me.
Now and right now I need to make sure I'm not feeding my addiction but slowly killing it.
Now and right now I need to win this and only this battle.
If I win this battle I have WON what happens later and what has happened in the past is its own story
But this! Now! Here! I'm going to win
And here's my attack plan
1) I will try to keep away from triggers today
2) I will pray to Hashem for strength
3) I will remember that Hashem is here with me and loves me
4) I will read some of the GYE handbook
5) If I fell myself falling I will tell myself not now wait 5 minutes, wait 10 minutes and will try to turn my attention to a daver shel kedushah.
YES, TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
