Getting Sober

Hey everyone,

I just posted this quote in my class thread and thought it might be worth an airing here as we head into the weekend.

It's old & well worn but I thought if it inspires a newbie or a lurker into making a new life for themselves (like it did me) then it will have been worthwhile....

Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink. Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everything I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing. Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?

Sobriety is the key, the absolute, the one thing on which my life rests. Sobriety takes discipline and I will do this discipline now and every day of my life

Thanks for that Tufty. Just because a message is old and well worn doesn't make it any less valuable. Like a beloved security blanket. It's comforting. I must remember that my sobriety takes precedence because without it, my life is a whole lot harder.

My happiness depends on staying sober. If I drink, I am not happy and my life gets a lot worse. Staying sober is the glue that holds me together.

The joy and goodness in my life can only be sustained through sobriety and recovery.

Thanks for the great quote, tufty!
