| Living Sober - First things First
"First Things First"
Here's an old saying that has special, strong meaning for us. Simply stated, it is this: Above all other concerns, we must remember that we cannot drink. Not drinking is the first order of business for us, anywhere any time, under any circumstances.
Some have asked us, "Does this mean you rank sobriety ahead of family, job, and the opinion of friends?"
When we view alcholism as the life-or-death matter it is, the answer is plain. If we do not save our health — our lives — then certainly we will have no family, no job, and no friends. If we value family, job, and friends, we must first save our own lives in order to cherish all three.
