A chance to relearn.
I posted this else where but it will bear repeating.
At two years sober it is sometimes hard to remember how I got sober. But today I got chance to relearn. I am in a lot of pain, enough to over ride the pain killers I normally take, enough to make me think 'I wouldn't feel like this if I were smashed'.

The moment I thought about drinking I took my stick and hit myself metaphorically over the head with it. Realising I had beaten my AV give me a fantastic rush of pride and self worth.
Keep your stick with you but apply it at the correct moment.

It is in the moment between a reaction and a drink that recovery happens.
I have a big stick and I am hitting my head pretty hard with it today. I don't need any help doing that.
