Over a 3 day stretch, I had a leaking roof in 2 rooms of my house, garage door cable and cthohain snapped, my vehicle was in accident total loss, AC unit went out, and about 4 other personal and financial burdens. It was intense!
For the 1st time, I had a fleeting thought of "I could use a drink right about now". it went as quickly as it came, and it felt good that it passed so quickly.
When we're first starting our journey, we have those moments all the time; those little victories that add up, make you smile and say "I got this", but as you progress further into sobriety, they don't come as often. It's a nice reminder once in a while that you're doing great and to keep collecting those little wins; they never stop coming!
