There are a lot of important holidays this time of year. Perhaps you’ve heard of some of them: Pearl Harbor Day (Dec. 7), Winter Solstice (Dec. 21), Christmas (Dec. 25), New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31), and New Year’s Day (Jan. 1).
Not to be outdone, December 29 is “Still Need to Do Day.” This is that day – the day when you figure out (a) what you have failed to do so far in 2021, and (b) how to complete those projects in the next 48 hours.
While it may be impossible to reach all of your 2021 goals in the next two days, there is no better time to get to work on your recovery. Jesus said to work “while it is daylight” (John 9:24).
Recovery Step: You can’t do a year’s worth of recovery work in two days. But you can do two days’ worth of recovery work in two days. So go ahead. Get started.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
