"do the next right thing"...what does that mean?!
Question:
"do the next right thing"...what does that mean?
I know that people in recovery often say the expression "I just do the next right thing".
Can anyone explain what that really means?
Answers:
It means taking each thing one at a time, just like taking one day at a time. If you try to look at your responsibilities and goals as a whole, you get overwhelmed. By choosing that the next thing only you do will be the right thing, leaving future decisions for the future, life is much more manageable and not nearly so scary.
