Step by Step
Friday, April 12, 2024
Today, I can believe my worst days are behind and not ahead of me if I don’t drink in the current 24 Hours and not think in terms of a lifetime, a year, a month or even a week without alcohol. If I can be honest about remembering that moment when I knew alcohol had made my life unmanageable and why I sought recovery, I might also remember that my days as a drinking alcoholic were the darkest and toughest of my life. And if that is true, I can look no further than to those people who are in recovery to know that sobering up will be nowhere near as tough as continuing to drink. Today, if I am teetering and preoccupied with how many tomorrows will be without alcohol, I will live only in the current 24 hours, just for today. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
