Don't Live Only in the Present
The pointers on a clock's face indicate the present time, but the present and future can be seen as well. A digital clock has no past and no future, only the now. Ours is a digital clock generation. Chemical addiction is just another manifestation of preoccupation with the present. Cherished values of the past are rejected and serious dangers for the future are ignored. The momentary high is all that counts. In recovery we discover how destructive this narrow perspective is, and we change our attitudes. What the world needs is a recovery program to overcome this addictive attention to the present.
