to me, successs is a one day at a time thing.
i went to sleep last night sober. i was successful yesterday.
if i go to sleep tonight sober, i was successful today.
however, it wasn't always that easy. when i got into recovery, i had to fight very hard to not pick up a drink,and there were times it was down to one minute at a time.
but one thing Finally got from my head to my heart: alcohol wasn't gonna help anything.
over time, and with work on fixin/changing me, the craving,compulsion, and obsession left.
it was well worth the fight.
SOBRIETY ROCKS!!!
