YESTERDAY, TODAY
AND TOMORROW
wo of these are two days a week you shouldn’t worry about.
TThey’re two days that shouldn’t torment you or cause you any fear.
One is YESTERDAY with it’s fears and concerns, weaknesses and
deviations, trials and tribulations. Yesterday is gone forever and
beyond our reach. Even the power of all the gold in the world couldn’t
give us back YESTERDAY. We can’t erase a single word we said
yesterday. It was gone forever YESTERDAY.
The other day we shouldn’t worry about is TOMORROW. It’s close,
but its problems, adversities and difficulties shouldn’t plague you;
nor should its fair promises and dismal disappointments worry you.
TOMORROW is beyond our reach.
The sun will come out TOMORROW to shine in a clear sky or to
hide behind thick clouds, but it will come out. We shouldn’t have to
worry about it unless it doesn’t. Tomorrow is closer than you think.
We only have one day left: TODAY. Anyone can face their problems
one day at a time and stay SOBER. When we add the burdens of
those two eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, that’s when we fall
into depression and take the first drink.
It’s not TODAY’s things that drive us crazy. What makes us so crazy
and pushes us to drink is the remorse and bitterness for something
that happened YESTERDAY and the fear for what might happen
TOMORROW.
In the meantime, let’s settle with living one day at a time and we’ll
keep SOBER.
An A.A. member never makes the promise of not drinking again the
rest of their life. You don’t know if you might drink TOMORROW
but you can abstain from it. You can refrain yourself from drinking
in the 24 hours of TODAY.
On one side, YESTERDAY has already passed and on the other
side nobody knows what will happen TOMORROW. Consequently,
