my program of recovery each day

i dont take that 1st drink - its the 1st drink that gets me drunk, not the 20th - i cant get drunk if i dont take the 1st drink

my sobriety date is the most important thing in my life because without it i lose everything

i ask God for help

i go to a meeting (almost) everyday - unless i cant and there arent many cants

i talk to my sponsor weekly - daily now because we are putting a new roof on my house

i always have at least 2 formal service positions where i am accountable. accountability means i will be missed by people if i dont show up for my agreed upon responsibility.

currently i secretary one meeting and sponsor guys at the salvation army

service is the #1 contributor to my intact sobriety date

thats it - kinda simple

early on at meetings a man would say,' the 1st drink is the one that's the problem."
and id be thinkin,"HUH!! for me its the one right before the blackout."
and I truly meant that.

took a lil time for me to get that one.

Well done.
I really struggle with accountability if anything it makes me worse, no idea why think I find it difficult to commit to stuff.
