Step by Step
Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022
Today, no waste of valuable time that should be spent on progressing in sobriety instead of fighting an urge for “just one” drink. I already know the deception of “just one.” Recovery has armed us with the Steps to dodge the bullet of temptation, and personal experience shows time and again the consequences if I give in. In the end, the temptation to drink “just one” is a simple choice, and that choice like any other has consequences – and I alone will be responsible to those consequences. They have taken too much from me already. Thus, the choice is simple: DON’T DRINK. Today, I don’t have time to deal with temptation or wondering if I can get away with “just one.” I can’t. More significantly, I don’t want to drink. Case closed. Today, I’ll focus my emotional energy on something more productive, like recovery. And our common journey continues. Step by step. – Chris M., 2022
