For Today: September 11th

Tomorrow's life is too late.
Live today.
Martial

A good mind is no defense against the insanity of compulsive overeating.  If OA hadn't found me, I would still be saying "tomorrow"--despite repeated proof that tomorrow is a pipe dream and my only chance is to act today.

I am abstaining TODAY because it is today's life I am living. I do not know if I can binge today and say, "I will abstain tomorrow," but I have absolutely no desire to try it.

For Today"  Whatever I want to begin doing, I will do today/  Tomorrow is too late.

**************************************************

The trouble with my compulsive overeating mind is to INSIST that I CAN binge today and find abstinence tomorrow.  After repeatedly trying that method and failing miserably, my mind STILL tells me it IS possible.

It is NOT possible and I know that for a fact.  If I choose to have a binge and start my program "On Monday", I'd better be prepared for the fact that Monday is indeed a pipe dream and NEVER comes.

After 40-some years of lies & delusions, isn't TODAY the day to face the truth?
