There are many things that I have to 'focus ' on daily. Eating right, exercise, parenting, finances, and last but not least recovery. I assume that recovery, and the disciplines and conscious actions that support, will become more natural to me. But they will always remain there.....I won't be able to take them for granted.
The number one reason I hear people with any amount of sobriety relapse is they stopped working the program that got them sober. I drank for a good part of my life.....30 years. I suppose I'll have to recover for the remainder.
