Here’s what one EA member had to say about monthly EAI support:

What’s the value of EA? I ask that question because if you’re going to make a donation, you’ll want to know if this is a wise investment. For me, it’s the wisest of all!! Our world is struggling mentally, emotionally, and relationally. EA has shown repeatedly to be a fellowship with effective tools and a caring community of people committed to helping us deal well with our thoughts and feelings as we relate to our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. I encourage generous giving to EA!! It’s making a difference in our world – in MY world. I’ll be giving, too! - Scott J.

Monthly Reflections on the 12 Just For Todays from the EAI Board

Just For Today 1: JUST FOR TODAY I WILL TRY TO LIVE THROUGH THIS DAY ONLY, NOT TACKLING ALL OF MY PROBLEMS AT ONCE. I CAN DO SOMETHING AT THIS MOMENT THAT WOULD DISCOURAGE ME IF I HAD TO CONTINUE IT FOR A LIFETIME.

"One of the keywords in this tool is the word try for me. Although I TRY to keep it out of my vocabulary in most areas of my life, in recovery I choose to be more gentle with myself. I allow myself the space to also not live through this day only when certain situations arise. I am usually gently reminded that reliving the past or agonizing over the future is an exhausting way to carry myself through each day. I am almost always quickly discouraged from these thoughts patterns and nudged by my Higher Power back into the present. In each moment of each day, I do try to focus on the matter at hand and try to do first things first. Even if it is a bit cliche, the present is a gift. Just for today, I will accept that gift that is so freely given to me." — Kelsey W., EAI Board Member
