I drank every day for 25 years. When I quit, I didn’t think I could make it a hour without finding a drink. I was literally taking it a minute/ hour at a time. Then I got a few days under my belt and I started getting to where I could take the morning or afternoon at a time. Then after a while, it was a day at a time.
making through one day was a miracle and a lifetime. Now I am about 20 days away from 1000 days. My point is- I was like the 700 pound person who could not walk across the floor- slowly but surely one step at a time- I’ve become that marathon runner with the wind in his back.
