Very interesting! I feel a combination of the two points of view can work. We can focus on the day (I won't drink today) with the end in sight (I will never drink again). I guess sometimes, early in sobriety, the idea of quitting forever seems too daunting and insurmountable. At the same time though, like someone else said, the idea of quitting for only "a day at a time" seems like we're dangling a carrot in front of us. Different strokes, I suppose.
