Before EVERYTHING else- because my recovery allows me to have EVERYTHING else.
I like this. I am now in the beginning stages of building my life around my sobriety instead of building my sobriety around my life. When I was drinking or doing those little stints of not drinking I was more concerned with the things in my life and making sobriety jibe with that instead of first making sure I am sober and doing or not doing things in my life to support that. I have switched that thinking.
