In meetings and here on SR I
take what I want and leave the
rest.

Whatever will help me stay sober
oe more day.

Alcohol is what got me here in
recovery in the first place and
will always be there tempting
me because it is so cunning,
baffling and quite powerful.


Time and time again Ive heard
others say how getting a taste
of recovery had screwed up their
drinking carreers and going back
to the drink will never be the same.

It's a bummer isnt it?

There have also been countless
times that Ive heard from others
who have had a taste of sobriety
to only go back out then to return
to share with me that alcohol is
still alive and well and kicking azz.

For me I was so grateful for them
going out instead of me. But for
the Grace of my HP there goes I,
because that could have very well
been me.

It didnt matter if that person had
1 month, 5 yrs., 15 yrs., 25yrs,
if they went out, it only confirmed
to me that alcohol still didnt work.

At 19 yrs sober Im just one day
away from a drunk if i dont have
the principles and steps of recovery
to guide me along my journey in
life.

I cant keep my sobriety and all
the rewards that are granted to
me if i dont give the knowledge
that was so freely passed on to
me over the yrs.

Keep Coming Back. It works if
you work it.
