Becoming sober is like learning to walk all over again.
First you discover your feet.
Then you look around and see others are walking.
Then you roll over, squirm, crawl.
You stand. You fall.
You stand. You step. You fall.
You stand, you step, you walk.
At first holding on to things and people.
It is dizzying. You have no balance. But you continue.
Eventually you walk with others just nearby in case you get wobbly.
Then, you don't need them so close.
Then, you learn to run.
Persistence and basic instincts to strive, live and grow made you walk.
These same things will make you become and stay sober.
