hmmmmmmm

Being sober is my gift from God and I choose to give it back daily. I think of slips and relapses in a context of being the end of where I have choice vs no choice.

Up until I choose whether or not to go out and drink, I still have choices.

Once I do (IF I do) go out, and choose to drink, I lose all choice over the oiutcomes and I know without a doubt that I will end up in a downward trajectory. Fast. And I will take others with me.

So, I add to the fact that today I am gifted and truly blessed to have choices, I am also given responsibility for choosing wisely.

Somehow, don't ask me why, this is enough to give me daily momentum in sobriety.
