Just For Today

Welcome to the "Just For Today!" distribution list.

Here's a little more information for the historically curious.

This list is designed for the daily inspiration of 12 step members and others interested in the 12 step programs of recovery. Being opted-in to this list means that you should receive a 12 step related message on Monday through Friday of each week. The quotes included in the messages are from various sources of 12 step literature.

The messages will generally conform to the following format:

Generally readings from one of the basic texts
of 12 step literature.

or one of the 12 traditions

Your Guess is as good as mine!

Maybe an Occasional Posting


"Just For Today!" (also referred to as "JFT!") is currently being coordinated by a group of seven co-administrators from Southern California, Maryland, Ohio, Connecticut, Northern California, Oklahoma, Florida and Australia who began helping out on June 22, 1999 and continue to do so as of

Our co-administrators are
Bob M., Scott B., Barbara P., Terry H., Carl J., Bob B., Jenny M., and our web pages are provided and maintained by Doug B., from the AAHistory.com web site.

Sober since June 10, 1997, Herb K. passed away on April 3, 2004 after sending out tens of thousands of JFT! emails during his 5 years of service here at JFT! - we'll miss you Herb.

With the addition of Ken, and Bob B. on January 10, 2003, we grew to nine volunteers performing over 10,000 mailouts a day. That's over 8.5 MILLION messages of experience, strength and hope since 1999 alone.

The first five co-administrators of JFT took over for Roger B. on June 25, 1999.
Roger had just seen us through a very large and rapid growth period single-handedly!

Roger B. took the reins over from Bill B. from Indiana on February 9, 1998.

The web site went live on February 8, 1998 with a geocities address and moved to this site December 15, 1998.

From September to December of 1997, JFT was administered by Seth P.

Bill took over the administration of JFT from Luke J. in May of 1996.

JFT was started by Luke J. in September of 1995.

JFT is a private effort and is not affiliated with any established group, organization, fellowship, or entity.
