Ġurnata b’Ġurnata (Day by Day), written by Clifford Galea with author Glen Calleja overseeing the project, invites readers to reflect on life, the challenges people face and the importance of continuing to look forward despite difficult experiences in the past.
Through reflections on life, hope and the individual’s personal journey, the author conveys a positive and realistic message about the possibility of change, recovery and personal growth. The book is based on the idea that the past, although it remains part of each individual’s history, does not have to determine their future.
The publication pays particular attention to the importance of learning to live day by day, while recognising that the journey towards a better life is not always easy or without obstacles. However, each day brings a new opportunity to start again, strengthen self-confidence and continue building a better future.
The book also has an important social dimension, particularly in the context of addiction recovery, where a message of hope, perseverance and support can make a difference to people going through difficult circumstances. It also invites society to view these individuals with greater empathy, respect and understanding, without judgement or stigma.
This editorial project was made possible with the help and support of the Ministry for Social Policy and the Family and the Foundation for Social Welfare Services (FSWS). The author also presented a copy of the publication to Minister Michael Falzon as a gesture of appreciation for the trust and support given to the initiative.
Minister Falzon praised Clifford Galea for taking the initiative to help people going through difficult circumstances because of drug addiction and to convey a message of hope. He stressed that the Government invests millions of euros each year in drug rehabilitation, highlighting a number of specialised services that are making a difference.
“This is a government that leaves no one alone, even if these cases do not reflect the majorities. Help is there and it is there for everyone free of charge,” concluded Minister Michael Falzon.
