What keeps me sober today is not what kept me sober the first 90 days. I put myself in an institution that I knew would monitor me and censure me if I drank. However I did not feel comfortable in my own skin for even a single day while I was there and could not wait to get out and run straight for my my next drink.
What keeps me sober today is what allows me to be comfortable in my own skin. Namely; peace of mind, joy and sense of purpose. How do I get these benefits? I "give" something each day and I "receive" something each day - a daily reprieve.
