So SD, how are you feeling today?
I imagine you're at work. So far so good. But what about after that? You were in AA before as I recall, right? How about driving to a meeting after work? I remember so well the drive home, and the gravitational pull of the liquor store. I could go on and on about static time and the addictive voice and all these other Jedi mind tricks I use.... but in the beginning it came down to just making sure I went anywhere, did anything, except pick up another bottle.
Visualize waking up tomorrow morning: your eyes open. What do you want to feel at that moment? Not just physically, but emotionally... about yourself, about your life... That's what keeps me sober. I just want to wake up tomorrow feeling good, feeling hopeful. You can, too.
