Yes, at the end of the day you can only do things today. Whatever happened or didn't happen yesterday is gone, there's nothing you can do about it.
Focusing on where you are today and how can you improve yourself from there is a good mind technique.
One day at a time, that's what many alcoholics and other people with addictions say, but it's actually true. You can only live one day at a time, today.
I am now trying my best to be very attentive to my addiction problem. I still have the feeling that I can break down again and go down the same bad road I went down many years ago.
Many friends have already turned away from me when they found out that I spent their money that I borrowed on gambling. Yes, of course, I gave it all back to them, but I no longer have that trust. The consequences of those times still remain. My relatives also know that I can act in the same way. This burden, it seems to me, will accompany me for the rest of my life and there is no escape from it.
