If you don't drink, you'll stay sober

If you stay sober, you'll begin to see yourself.

If you begin to see yourself, you'll begin to have a chance at a relationship with yourself.

If you begin to have a chance at a relationship with yourself, you'll be able to start to understand yourself.

If you start to understand yourself, you'll be able to start to heal yourself.

If you start to heal yourself, you'll begin to feel joy and gratitude.

If you begin to feel joy an gratitude, you will be able to offer it to others.

If you're able to offer joy and gratitude to others, you will begin to help them heal.

If you begin to help others heal, it will help you stay sober.

If you stay sober, you won't drink.

Great post! Don’t take the first drink; the fundamental thing that underpins it all and without it there can be no recovery.

Glad ya’ll liked it.... this one made me smile.... think I’m gonna do a series of handmade, artsy versions of this and mail them anonymously to random people.... leave them around as I travel..... drop them on countertops in places I pass through.....

A quiet little giveaway project that may bring someone strength....

A small passion project of human impact.

Because sobriety brings about space for such things, and such things feel good.
