i found this posted somewhere a while back (it may have been quitnet; i'm not sure), and i found it on my computer this morning while looking for something else. i've rewritten parts of it.

----

Just for today, I will live each moment as it comes. I will not try to tackle all my problems at once.

Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful, and I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look my best, I will speak in a well-modulated voice, and I will be courteous and considerate.

Just for today, I will find no fault with friends, relatives, colleagues, or anyone else. I will notice only what I have done or haven't done.

Just for today, I will have a plan. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it, and it will save me from two enemies: hurry and indecision.

Just for today, I will exercise my character by doing three good turns and keeping them secret (if anyone finds out about any of them, they won't count).

Just for today, I will do two things I'd rather not do, just for the discipline.

Just for today, I will be unafraid. I may have fears, but I will face those fears and do what needs to be done anyway, moment by moment.
