People tried to tell me sobriety would just keep getting better.
They said that if I took it one day at a time, kept choosing sobriety, stayed active with recovery, honored my choice, it would be a process that would just deepen and get better.
They said that sometimes it would be hard, along the way there'd be challenges and realities to deal with but overall, it would improve. The hard parts would soften and the joyful parts would increase.
They said that if I just made sure I was staying conscious and aware, keeping my head in the recovery game, reminding myself of gratitude and positive and the reasons I'd chosen sobriety to begin with, I'd be able to be free of the feelings of shame, the depression, the anxiety, the fears, the anger, the relentless obsession.
They said my financial ruin would ease. They said I'd find new things to do, new patterns and habits and hobbies and friends and they said that I'd learn there is SO much to life beyond alcohol and drugs that I'd be amazed.
They said it would get better and better and better and better and that along the way at some point I'd almost come to forget how hard it had been to get out from under the dreadful cycle of addiction. They said I'd be FREE. They said I'd find my life a cherished and beautiful gift.
Well....
They said all this stuff and I followed their advice and I kept at it and I've done the things they told me and more. I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and you know what??
They were right.
It's all true.
It just keeps getting better. Every day.
Believe what they tell you.
