ONLY TODAY.

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

A technique that helps to get rid of addictions or habits to something.

Have you ever heard the saying that nothing is as permanent as temporary bridges?

The "Just for Today" technique is a simple yet highly effective psychological strategy for quitting harmful addictions (alcohol, smoking, overeating, social media, cell phone use, etc.) or, conversely, for developing healthy habits. It's especially popular in 12-step programs (AA, NA, and similar), but works equally well outside of them.

So, I'll try to convey a little bit of the "just for today" technique through rhymes...

I wake up heavy,
screens glowing like old scars,
the pull already whispering —
one hit, one scroll, one more.

But I cut the rope with a single blade:
"Just for today".
