Don't ever discount baby steps as not being worth it... I'm a recovering perfectionist and my lifelong habit has been sort of a mentality of if it is not perfect, 'sc_w it'...I've needed to break that habit and see the value of imperfection as I have interpreted it to be ...and sometimes that is just my own FAULTY interpretation! Take care and... Blessed Be...
I'm a perfectionist too. Very black & white thinking. I like your idea about baby steps being ok...staying sober forever sounds impossible but 1 day sounds a little more doable. I stayed sober today so I now have 28 hours of sobriety. My last drink was a Jamison & diet yesterday at 5:00 pm.
