Forever does seem like forever. And it did seem
that way for me at the very beginning of my recovery
journey some 28 yrs of one day at a time ago.

Staying within the day or 24 hours a day made
it easy so I wouldn't get to far a head of myself.
Kept the day contained and life's big problems
within the area I could handle and remain sober.

As long as there was no alcohol in my home
to reach for when life's daily problems got
too trying and had my program of recovery
as a guideline allowed me to continue to be
successful in my own sobriety.

I realized that life was gonna continue to
be and I had to know how to deal with it
without reaching for alcohol or any other
unhealthy devices that would be harmful
or dangerous to me and those around me.

Addiction is absolutely serious and a huge
problem for many. However, there are many
who have been taught and have learned about
it and have found a program of recovery who
can live by, incorporating it in all areas of their
lives to achieve health, happiness and honesty
in all their affairs on a continuous bases one day
at a time moving forward.

It is comforting to know that no one ever
has to go thru anything, especially learning to
remain sober one day at a time, by ourselves
again.

SR is an awesome community of caring,
supporting folks and one of many resources
to add to your recovery tool box in helping
you learn to remain sober one more day.
