Tonesward,

I’m at day 38. I know NOTHING except that time and distance from your last drink are miracle workers. Don’t overthink it. Don’t worry about tomorrow, or even an hour from now. Don’t stress over sobriety success. Don’t batter yourself. Make it as simple as possible.

Just think: I will not drink right now.

Not you cannot, but you will not. Give yourself that painful gift that will reward you in time.
