If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you …”

Analysis: Seizing the Moment

Opportunity calls in the present. It Works: How and Why centers on a singular desire. We seek freedom from addiction together. Newcomers find warmth in every meeting. Everyone deserves a path to healing. Our community extends a hand to all.

Exclusion has no place here. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions guarantees entry to every person. Past actions do not bar our doors. We value an honest desire to change. This radical acceptance defines our shared mission. A Higher Power opens the way for us.

James Dean captured this urgent, vibrant spirit. He urged us to live fully today. Viktor Frankl also championed this immediate awareness (Frankl, 1946). He taught us that meaning hides within the passing hour. Wellbriety wisdom deepens this resolve. “We find our true life by living well today” (White Bison, 2002, p. 44). We shed the heavy shadows of yesterday. Today brings the only gift we truly own.

CARPE DIEM – APROVECHA EL DÍA COMO SI NO HUBIERA MAÑANAS – TRAD. 3

YOLO, HOMBRE TRANQUILO –

“El único requisito para ser miembro es el deseo de dejar de consumir.” “Cuando llegan nuevos miembros a las reuniones, nuestro único interés es su deseo de libertad de la adicción activa y cómo podemos ser de ayuda.” (Funciona: Cómo y Por Qué, p. 106)

INCLUSO LOS MÁS BAJOS SON BIENVENIDOS CON CALIDEZ –

“No importa quién seas, no importa cuán bajo hayas caído, no importa cuán graves sean tus complicaciones emocionales, incluso tus crímenes, todavía no podemos negarte A.A.” “El único requisito para ser miembro es un deseo honesto de dejar de beber.” (12 y 12, p. 139)

JAMES DEAN –

“Sueña como si fueras a vivir para siempre; vive como si fueras a morir hoy.”

James Dean (1931 – 1955)

Análisis

La oportunidad llama en el presente. Funciona: Cómo y Por Qué se centra en un deseo singular. Buscamos la libertad de la adicción juntos. Los recién llegados encuentran calidez en cada reunión. Todos merecen un camino hacia la sanación. Nuestra comunidad tiende una mano a todos.

La exclusión no tiene lugar aquí. Doce Pasos y Doce Tradiciones garantiza la entrada a cada persona. Las acciones pasadas no cierran nuestras puertas. Valoramos un deseo honesto de cambiar. Esta aceptación radical define nuestra misión compartida. Un Poder Superior abre el camino para nosotros.

James Dean capturó este espíritu urgente y vibrante. Nos instó a vivir plenamente hoy. Viktor Frankl también defendió esta conciencia inmediata (Frankl, 1946). Nos enseñó que el significado se esconde dentro de la hora que pasa. La sabiduría de Wellbriety profundiza esta resolución. “Encontramos nuestra verdadera vida viviendo bien hoy” (White Bison, 2002, p. 44). Dejamos atrás las pesadas sombras del ayer. Hoy trae el único regalo que realmente poseemos.

Pregunta Concluyente

¿Qué es una buena cosa que puedes hacer por ti mismo ahora mismo?

    I can have patience with myself, knowing that my life will not be rebuilt in a day. But I have faith that it will happen.

    I think I need to seize the day by living in every moment I’m not in severe pain. Sometimes I haven’t seized the day, and thought what would I do if in severe pain without a Doctor’s assistance. Next with that thinking next I give into the temptation of my first drink, although through meetings I’ve learned not to take that first.

    I seize the day by viewing every 24-hour period a divine gift of time… I celebrate everyday blessings and rejoice in my higher power always…

    I seize every day by wanting and ascertaining very knowledgeable thoughts, and wanting to be a positive participant in society accomplishing goals that I set out to accomplish. I’ve worked so diligently hard to get to more places in education, and have seen where new thoughts have emerged that are brilliant.

    To me, to treat each day like my last means to leave others better off than they were when I met them, however I can. It’s not avoiding regret, just trying to leave a positive impact. That doesn’t need to counteract my own sense of peace, either- there’s a balance in all of this.

    Seizing the day for me means making the most of my time here on earth. I enjoy the little things, such as my cups of coffee or the moments of peace before I go to bed at night. I attempt to truly embrace every moment I have.

    I seize the day whenever I start with good habits, meditation, journaling, excercise, affirmations, learning something, all before I get into more serious work. It frames my mind in a better place and helps me feel motivated

    Seizing the day for me all starts in the morning. I focus on getting centered I do that by asking God to direct my thinking… after that I put the armor of God on…

    I seize my sobriety every day. It starts right here on Zonr, working my program. This is where it starts. I read here the other day, I get God in my head before I do. Those first moments of my day are so sacred and important to setting the tone for the rest of the day. There have been times recently where I have allowed external things to derail this. I am working hard every day to stop that, to be aware of that which could through me off track, and mindfully recognize the distraction and move past it, as I continue to seize the day. It is my choice. I am going to Seize it.

    Thank you, I am grateful to participate and heal.

    I’m letting go. I really feel like I’m living an “authentic” without regard for what I think others expect of me but rather boldly going forward, in a loving way. I hope.

    Mine is really simple for me to gauge if I’m seizing the day and that’s not putting off anything even if it’s more convenient for me to put it off the next day or makes more sense do as much as is put in front of me that day/moment
