This general concept deals with breaking things into manageable pieces as well as living in the “now” instead of the past or future. I don’t sabotage myself with thoughts of how I’m going to stay sober for the rest of my life – just for the rest of this minute, hour, or day. I don’t beat myself up because of the past. I learn from it and apply those lessons to this minute or this hour and use it to help others. Living life one day at a time, one hour at a time, or one minute at a time helps me to not become overwhelmed. This has been very important for me during recovery.
