Day by Day is a daily meditation book for alcoholics and addicts. It was written in 1973 by members of the Young People's Group of Alcoholics Anonymous in Denver, Colorado.[1] The project was spearheaded by Shelly M., a member of the group who went on to compile Young, Sober & Free and The Pocket Sponsor.[2] Day by Day was written when there were fewer than 200 Narcotics Anonymous meetings held worldwide,[3] and was the group's effort to produce twelve step literature inclusive of addicts. Each day's entry contains a meditation, followed by and open-ended statement after which there is a blank space for writing. Every entry concludes with the sentence, “God help me to stay clean and sober today!”[4]
