The tools are there, a whole community is willing to give them to you. All you need to do is be open to it, and reach for it. Good luck!

Live for today. My problem was that I would constantly focus on a long term goal and couldn’t make it past the weekend without drinking. I just completed my first weekend sober in months. Every morning, I tell myself that I can’t control tomorrow but I can control today. And today I’m not drinking. Good luck.

Get involved with a program. AA, SMART, Recovery Darhma… anything. Speak your truths. Tell your story. If it’s a step work program, get a sponsor and take the advice given. We give away free what was given freely to us.

I was the same way. I am amazed at 106 days of sobriety. There was no fkin way I wdve believed it. The rooms changed my life. I was the biggest skeptic and now am a believer.

If you’ll start AA and get a sponsor you will learn all the tools you need.. you can’t do it alone.. just take one day at a time.. don’t look to tomorrow..

Sometimes I have to tell myself "all I have to do is the next 5 minutes" Baby steps, in the beginning less was more for me. Make sure your goals are attainable goals, and you're not trying to do too much. Sponsors and networks are the key.
