Fawlty Showers

One Day At A Time

Abigail had an emergency and asked if I’d finish group for her.  I told the group they could end early if they remembered at least four meanings for the slogan ‘one day at a time.’

“One day at a time don’t pick up the first drink,” Marti answered. “Don’t text the ex, don’t break your diet, don’t hide from your responsibilities.”

“One day at a time squeeze the joy from the day,” a man in the back said. “Take a longer shower, enjoy your breakfast, hug someone goodbye, text an old friend, play with a dog.”

“And?”

“Know you’re one day stronger than you thought because you didn’t pick up the first drink, text the ex, duck your responsibilities. Pat yourself on the back.”

“That’s three,” I said. “Good start.”

 

Today I’ll remember one day at a time’s first three meanings.
