January 20 - I understand that, when I allow myself to dwell on the problem, the problem will worsen. But when I dwell on the solution, the situation will improve. My problems with money today have much less significance when I focus on my recovery and continued abstinence rather than spending my time wishing I had no debts. My past grand illusions of debt-free wealth are today just that: illusions. My happiness today depends on my acceptance of the financial burdens I have created - and the plans I have to repay them in some reasonable fashion.
Do I understand that my patience in these matters is an important ingredient of my recovery?
Today I Pray - May I remember that my life took many turns for the worse - over a long period of time. My recovery will follow a similar process in reverse, taking many turns for the better - over a long period of time.
Today I Will Remember - My shortcomings are long only if I let them linger.
