Living a sober life for me involves waking up in the morning wanting to be sober, doing things that enhance my life without alcohol, not acting on those impulses and thoughts that lead me back to a drink, working on changing myself at the heart level so that the impulses and thoughts become fewer until one day, alcohol has no place in my life.
"One day" came somewhere around a few months sober for me and has continued to grow. I got there by taking the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's not the only way to get there, but it's the only way that worked for me.
What are you doing to live a sober life, hollybear?
Peace & Love,
