Here is the highlight of my day today.
I didn't drink.
I'm going to go to bed sober in a few minutes, and tomorrow, I'm going to wake up and spend the day not drinking. Just by accomplishing that one thing, for one day at a time, my life is pretty great.
Now, I have a multitude of other things I've accomplished, and continue to accomplish in my life. But none of that matters if I drink, because alcohol can sabotage my life very quickly if I let it. I know myself well enough to know that if I have one beer, it won't be enough. And beer itself won't be enough, I will need to add vodka to the party. And soon I will circling the drain and running the risk of losing everything I value in life.
To avoid this devastating scenario I only need to do one thing. Don't drink today (and everyday when you wake up, it's "today" so you do it again).
