I'll be in a situation where people around me are drinking and I will think, "what the heck... I'll just get my feet wet." Then, "Just up to the knees"... feels pretty nice, "chest deep" "in too deep now, may as well go for a swim"... "treading water"... before I know it I'll be drowning again, grasping for a way out.... ... Or not. Stay diligent November. Here's to another 30 days sober.
