Sobriety has to be the no1 priority in your life

If you wish to stay sober. Sobriety is also the thing that I’m most grateful for everyday.

Grateful to be sober, grateful to be an alcoholic 🙏

Agreed - and the best part is that the sobriety gifts so many other things, everything of value really.

Yep.
My recovery (which includes my spiritual life) comes before everything.
Before my husband, before any job, before any family or work situation, before any friend, before.....there is nothing that could supercede it. Period.

And, by having that set in stone - I get everything else I want and everything that is beautiful and worth having in my life. Best deal I've ever made.

To me my recovery is like the axle the wheel of our life rolls on - no axle, no getting anywhere.

sobriety is kind of like breathing.....we do not consciously think about EVERY breath we take, but we do naturally assure that we CAN breathe. we know we don't do well underwater.......or with plastic bags over our head. we know that, hopefully, should the airplane encounter issues with cabin pressure, the little yellow mask will drop down. we have developed the Heimlich maneuver in the event something gets lodged in the airway. we avoid putting ligatures around our necks.

we do all this to PROTECT our ability to breathe. because it is that important, that essential, life or death.
