The whole recovery thing or staying sober
a day at a time, way at the beginning of my
recovery didn't make a bit of sense to me.
As much as I tried to understand the concept
of following a program of recovery, I just didn't
understand it.
Then I just stop fighting it all. I went through
the motions for a long time until oneday a light
bulb went off in my head and then I realized all
I had to do was accept that I was an alcoholic,
with an addiction to it, and that I never could
drink successfully no matter how much I tried
to control it.
Once I accepted that fact, the rest was easy.
Just follow what many have successfully done
to remain sober each and everyday that they
have and still live today.
Don't figure it all out today. If you are like me
in anyway, then living and learning a life in
recovery is a lifelong journey with many wonderful
gifts to enjoy along the way and with 23 yrs now,
I can't wait to see what new gift I will be blessed
with next.
I appreciate you being here.
