WTG Kody in getting right back to day 1. I'm early in my sobriety so I spend more time reading and listening to what worked for others. I also have insecurities about expressing myself in written form because it's just not a strength of mine. When I first joined over a month ago, there was a post from someone who was clearly in some acute medical distress due to drinking. It hit home for me in a huge way because given the opportunity, I'd gloss over the damage I was doing to myself.

For me, sobriety is very humbling because it's forcing me to look at myself. I need that because when I get caught up in what others are doing, I am prone to not taking responsibility for myself. Taking it one day at a time has been a gift for me. I've promised myself that just today, I won't drink. I'll worry about tomorrow when it comes.

The wisdom here is stunning. Stay close and don't drink no matter what. Be well.
