Just for today, I need to find some acceptance. I finally broke down and asked for a wheelchair. I need to find it fast as it it arriving on Wednesday. Not much room for one in my apartment, but good for my son to push me to the mall and I can use it to go to meetings.

Your son sounds like he's a blessing to you. Thank you for caring and sharing.

Just for today, I will continue to work on my acceptance. My health isn't good, and I don't feel like I am in a good space. Hope I get to move. If I can't, I will just have to accept it is not meant to be.

Just for today, I will pray for the willingness to be willing to go to sleep. I thought I accepted the fact that I was prepared to die in my sleep if it were to happen as a result of my sleep apnea and my decision not to get the apparatus to wear when I am sleeping. Things are okay with me and my God, and I pray for His Divine Will for my life and I am still here, so He seems to have more faith in me than what I have for myself.

Just for today, I will recognize where I am at, do a Step Ten. My feet are less swollen, but they are still swollen and I need to respect them and not overdo things, like being on the computer for too long at one time.

When I start to feel better, I always think I should be doing, when I should be using the slogan, Easy Does IT. Easy does it, but do it as they say in the rooms of recovery here in Ontario, Canada.

Just for today, I need to look at things with a new perception. My wheel chair arrived today, so I will have to learn to adapt my life style. I can see a lot of change happening in my life.

MajestyJo · 02-21-2019, 07:30 PM

Just for today, I will be honest with others, but more importantly, I will be honest with myself.Not feeling too well, having problems posting.

MajestyJo · 02-22-2019, 11:41 PM

Just for today,I will accept my past. I wouldn't be who I am in today, if I hadn't gone through what I went through, to get to where I am in today. That goes for prior to recovery and afterward as I progress in recovery.

MajestyJo · 02-24-2019, 07:26 PM

Just for today, I will make a conscious contact with my God by doing meditation.

Remembering what my sponsor told me years ago, I don't care who your Higher Power is as long as it is not you.

Just for today, I will continue to work on my acceptance seeing as I slept through ALL OF YESTERDAY. I was hoping to be kept in the hospital another day,but had to accept going home. Wanted to make sure they had got to the bottom of things and why I ended up there. I did end up there, now I am home and have to do my part. They have to hae done their part as I have been on the computer for over 3 hours and my feet are not swollen. This is a good thing because I sat at the coffee shop for an hour after my hour and a half meeting. Sitting for that long use to cause my feet and ankles to swell into a balloon. My only problem and side affect have been muscle spasms, so that means eating properly and taking magnesium.

Acceptance is the key to my recovery in today. If Idon't accept, I don't do my part.

MajestyJo · 03-05-2019, 12:23 AM

Just for today. I will give thanks for all the prayers that have been sent my way.I need to remember that I didn't get sober alone and I don't stay sober alone. I must be open to receive. Goodness is all around me. It is important to have an open mind and attitude to receive it.

MajestyJo · 03-06-2019, 01:12 PM

Just for today, I will practice my patience on myself and on my son. Thought thought of moving is scary. My friend Matt says he will help me get organized on the weekend.

MajestyJo · 03-08-2019, 11:40 PM

Just for today, I will work through my pain instead of trying to suppress it and/or ignore it, and will get to the root of the issue(s) at hand. Many I posted about tonight as a result of going to my group and reading some of the posts that I have made in the past. This allows me to look at where I am at in today.

Just realized I forgot my dinner medication. Whoops! Sometimes, there are pills that I need, including my heart medication.

MajestyJo · 03-09-2019, 07:11 PM

Just for today, I will focus on others which will help me to get out of self and my own pain.
