You can do it. Meaning it is the key. We've been talking about that a lot lately—the commitment. It seems like a huge step, doesn't it? A leap into a misty chasm.

Why does it always seem so daunting to us? We know what's waiting for us. Safety. Comfort. Contentment. Man, contentment was a scarce resource when I was drinking. It's not as big a leap as you think. You can get there, and you can stay there.
