3 weeks sober is a good start to your
recovery journey of a lifetime. There
are so many wonderful gifts just waiting
for you to enjoy and treasure, just like
they have for me for the past 21 yrs.
In early recovery I listened and learned
ways to protect my sobriety so that I
wouldnt be tempted to drink. Those ways
meant changing old ways i used to do
things to more healthier ways.
If i wanted to be a designated driver im
sure i would chose to take patiants in rehab
to outside meetings instead of driving for a
friend who will be drinking in a bar. Allowing
myself to sit in a situation where alcohol will
be all around me and something I so loved
till it stopped working for me, would be setting
myself up for a disasterous outcome.
For 21 yrs, i have protected my recovery,
my sobriety, by doing whatever I needed to
do because it is that important to me. No
one will take care of my recovery but me.
No one will care about my recovery but me.
My recovery, sobriety belong to me and no
one will cause me to fail but me. However,
I chose to enjoy and reap the rewards of the
promises provided to us as stated in our Big
Book of AA.
As a friend to a person going to a bar, I would
have to decline my services because If i were
new in recovery, going to a bar would be a no no.

you of what it was like before, during and after
alcohol. It is what has kept me sober for the last
21 yrs.
