What's your best advice for recovery - in 10 words or less?
I'm only new here, but I'm spectacularly impressed with the support, knowledge and dedication on SoberRecovery.

Everyone, wherever they are in the process, has something valuable to share. Mine would be:

"Get an SR account and check in regularly."

What is your best piece of advice - in 10 words or less - for someone in recovery?

Be desperate.
Be willing.
Surrender.
Stay in the moment.
Gratitude.

Be committed, not complacent.

Coping tools, the more the better.

Don't have the first one.

Remember who you were before booze took over and what you missed while drinking.

Forswear drinking, execute your plan, seek support, fix your emotions.
