Glad to hear that you didn't give into that
temptation and addiction today.
For me I knew better than to drive and sit
outside my favorite watering hole. In rehab,
those first 28 days sober, I was taught some
valuable lessons about my addiction and a
recovery program to incorporate in all my
affairs to help me remain sober no matter
what life would throw at me.
Those early months and yrs in recovery I
balanced out family and recovery all to the
best of my human ability. Not all was pink
clouds and roses because that wouldn't be
reality.
Keeping my feet firmly planted on the ground
and my head out of the clouds, I applied whatever
was necessary to help me build a strong, solid,
recovery foundation to live my life upon for yrs
to come.
When needing extra support behind me I ended
up to many AA meetings for that support, care,
understanding, guidance, strength and most of
all hope.
Hope that if many could and would remain
sober under all sorts of conditions, then so
could I. It never failed that when I went to a
meeting that I didn't learn something new.
Hear something I needed to hear.
As long as I knew there were countless meetings
available to me at any time on any day, then I never
needed to sit and dream, fantasize about poison
because I knew how dangerous it really would be
for me.
Each day sober incorporating a program of
recovery on a continuous bases results in a
successful recovery/sobriety life for many yrs
to come.
Continued growth and happiness sent your way.
