Step by Step
Friday, Oct. 27, 2023
Today, understand that recovery gives us the freedom not to live within the confines of alcoholism and, instead, to live in the boundless possibilities of sobriety. As a recovering alcoholic, I know — or at least, I better know — what I cannot do and, in trying to work toward or maintaining sobriety, I may be fighting what I cannot do — drink responsibly. But in recovery, I am not confined by what I cannot do in alcoholism and any other “ism” and do not have to fight sobriety. As such, I need to understand the distinction between fighting not to drink and simply letting sobriety be. Today, I have the freedom to live not in the problem of alcoholism but to live in the solution of recovery. Today, I choose to live in the solution, not in the problem. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2023
