If I had been in ur shoes at that very
point from the grocery store to standing
by the liquor store, I would have had
someone in recovery on the other end
of the phone, talking to you and guiding
you straight to your car, lock doors, drive
home or to a meeting or meet up with
that person on the phone emmediately.
I couldn't trust myself to be by myself
in early recovery if alcohol was anywhere's
near or around me.
My weakness and will power would
not be strong at that point.
It takes time and willingness to stay sober.
And to put my trust in many who have
paved the way for me to follow in recovery.
