I have been living sober for quite a while. Over time, I got the hang of it. That doesn’t mean I’m on cruise-control.
Every once in a while I learn about someone who relapses after a period of sobriety. The thought of it horrifies me. The reason is always the same – they forget and then stop doing what they had been doing.
There are certain habits which I was taught early on that I keep up to this day. I never want to forget how horrible I used to feel.
What I have to do every day is not hard. The fact that it works for me gives me faith that it will continue to work for me.
I get to live sober only one day at a time. Today is that day.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
