Day 402
"One day at a time"
has multiple meanings for me. Of course, there is the traditional and critical piece of being sober one day at a time, because trying to think of being sober for many years at a time is exhausting and useless.
But for me, this phrase is at least as important when talking about working the program and continuing to grow as a recovering sex addict. If I go a day — a single day — without working some aspect of my plan, then it is exponentially easier to miss another day and then another day, or so my life patterns would strongly indicate. I think the longest I've gone missing in nine months or so is two days, but those two days also were filled with a rush of old thoughts and desires. And I still feel chased by old thinking; more on days when I'm not working the plan than days when I am.
I intend to 'OneDay' this to death with the passion and patience of characters in a French revolution!

What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more
