One day at a time.

Yes it's cliche & simple, but the moment I accepted it, the easier this became. I don't have to worry about drinking tomorrow, next week, at my 50th birthday in 5 years, or even at my son's wedding WAY in the future (yes, I used to worry about that). I just have to concentrate on not drinking TODAY. Once I broke it down into increments of 24 hours it seemed easier to conquer. Before I knew it I had a week under my belt then all the sudden I had a month, then100 days, then 6 months, & now I'll have 23 months this month! NEVER would've imagined it, but those 24 hours add up!

One step, one day at a time.
