You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Letting Go of Urgency
One thing at a time.
That's all we have to do. Not two things at once, but one thing done in peace.
One task at a time. One feeling at a time. One day at a time. One problem at a time. One step at a time.
One pleasure at a time.
Relax. Let go of urgency. Begin calmly now. Take one thing at a time.
See how everything works out?
Today, I will peacefully approach one thing at a time. When in doubt, I will take first things first.Sunday, September 21, 2014

Like this, reminds me of the other day when a guy went rushing by me the other day and we met at the red light, and we both crossed at the green light.
When I had about a year sober, a woman who had 9 years sober, told a bunch of us at a women's group, "It is alright to just be, you just have to do what is in front of you, first things first." No rushing around to look for what needs to be doing, it will come to you in the order it needs to be done.
First things first is my sobriety, any thing after that comes second, even family. If I don't have my sobriety, I have nothing and they don't have me. It doesn't matter what my addiction is, be it people, places, or things, it all leads to the same soul sickness.
