Good morning, Marchers. I'm starting to think I need to fix my life not just fill up the time. I still believe that just not drinking is all that is required of sobriety. However, there is still a leftover hole that creates an uncomfortable life. I went back over the advice I was given earlier to see what I am not following and found these four pieces:
- Tell someone and make yourself accountable.
- Do not underestimate the changes that you will need to make in your life. It's not just about the alcohol; it's about so much more.
- Find support. Most people find it very difficult to do alone. Reach out BEFORE you drink.
- Action is required. Make a plan and then take action on it. Recovery requires consistent work. Don’t expect to simply get sober and then move on in a few months. Be ready to do whatever it takes.
I tried telling my wife, but she doesn't really follow through on the accountability part.
Just some thoughts this morning. I hope everyone is have a good sober day!
