In this episode of 'Grace Through Recovery', she dives into the delicate act of balancing the present with future planning. Recovery often emphasizes the 'Just for Today' mantra, urging folks to stay grounded in the moment. But let's be real – life doesn't stop, and we still need to think ahead.

Andrea wraps up with a reading from the 'Just for Today' leaflet, offering practical tips for staying present.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with insights to help you find that sweet spot between today and tomorrow.
