Today, no more wasting energy on the thought I can't drink by saying I neither need nor want to drink. I don't need, want or have to drink because recovery has bestowed in me a fundamental character change that is rooted deeper than merely abstaining from alcohol. That change is that I have been given the strength, courage and honesty to look at and correct the character defects that took me to alcoholism. Today, I don't need to regret that I cannot drink now or ever again because my recovery has taken away the need and desire. But may I not rest on the laurels of sobriety and conscientiously practice Step 10 every day: taking a continuing moral inventory and readily admitting and taking responsibility for my choices and their consequences. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2022
