Alcoholic Anonymous encourages its members to take things one day at a time. Otherwise, attempting too much too soon can interfere with achieving sobriety or any major goal.

It’s natural to become overwhelmed if you try to imagine giving up alcohol or any powerful habit on a permanent basis. It’s less distressing to think in terms of drinking just water for the next 24 hours or skipping a single happy hour.

Similarly, if you expect to go directly from being a couch potato to running a marathon, you might give up before you even finish your first mile.

With any goal, you’re more likely to succeed with a gradual approach that allows you to boost your confidence and motivation. See what happens when you keep your focus on the present.

How to Live One Day at a Time:

1. Set priorities.

Figure out what’s important to you and what you want to achieve. Start with the areas that will have the most significant impact on your quality of life or pick something that will give you an easy victory to build upon.

2. Create a timeline.

You’re more likely to follow through with a commitment if you specify the time period. Aim to stop complaining for a single day or even an hour.

3. Limit distractions.

Stay focused on your goals. Write them down to make them more concrete. Think about the purpose behind your actions and change your environment if necessary.

4. Persevere through obstacles.

Plan ahead for what to do in case of setbacks. If you slip up, forgive yourself, and move on.

5. Celebrate your results.

One of the advantages of a short time frame is that you can see the outcomes quickly. Thank yourself or use a tangible reward, like a spa day or a fancy coffee drink.

6. Evaluate your progress.

Stick to your plans but be flexible. Adjusting your strategy may help you to achieve even more.
