I was just writing to someone else that I needed to have a conscious focus on recovery for a while - certainly for the initial months, if not the whole first year.
It may seem monumental to newly sober peeps but if you're anything like me you drank for years...so it's not that bad of a deal to have to be a little mindful for a while?
It gets easier too - the first 30 were the hardest for me
