22. It's actually a beautiful philosophy

My husband calls it "being in the here and now" he'll use it as a meditation technique (not a meditation kind of guy) listening to the sound around you, becoming aware off the moments you are in

Also, as they say in meetings "if you have one leg in tomorrow and one leg in yesterday, chances are you're pissing all over today"

Or "you can make all the plans you want, just don't plan on the outcome"

Or "Do the next, right, indicated thing"

Responsibility is what recovery is about, not avoidance of it; checking personal responsibility for ones actions, what you own and what you don't and learning the difference between the two. That's why we say "keep our side of the street clean" not to point fingers, but to stay spiritually fit. And we do that one day at a time.
