I've often heard in meetings that getting clean and sober doesn't mean life will be all rainbows and unicorns. It's not IF, but WHEN life is going to throw $hit at us like a monkey at the zoo. When it inevitably happens, if I don't have a solid program and lean on my sober posse, I'm fcked.
It's been one of those brutal weeks at work where nothing seems to be going my way. The kind of drama I would previously use to drink myself to oblivion on a Friday night. Who am I kidding, I could find any excuse to do that. 
...but, I don't have to do that today. I can find gratitude in the fact that I have a job that affords me a few comforts in life. Important to remind myself, "Frank, there's nothing like a drink to make a bad situation worse."
