Start by being sober today - worry about tomorrow, tomorrow! And as far as guilt and shame go, you have to let that go. The best way to say you're sorry for your actions is to not drink today! Stay strong!
Yeah I hate one day at a time.
It definitely works though! Somewhere on the path I lost that thinking and ended up drunk. One day at a time seems like it's taking forever.
