Distilled Spirits

A friend of mine once said, "When I end the day with unfinished business, I end up dragging it into the next day with me. And I can't live one day at a time until I've dealt with yesterday." When I remember to take a quick inventory and share it with another alcoholic, I can see my unfinished business. When I'm in the present, there's no fear, anxiety, resentment, regret because those are things generated by dwelling on the past or the future. In the present there is only action that needs to be taken--or acceptance of the way things are.
