“The idea of giving up alcohol or drugs for the rest of your life is overwhelming. The good news is that you do not have to do this. You can approach recovery one day at a time. You do not have to worry about what is going to happen tomorrow or next week. You just have to get up each morning and commit to staying sober for the rest of the day - you do not need to commit to anything more than that. By sticking to one day at a time, the days turn into weeks, and the weeks turn into years.”

This simplifies things for my complicated mind. As a chronic over thinker, all of this helps slow and pause my racing mind. Thanks for sharing

I clearly remember being so relieved when “one day at a time” clicked. Wow, I don’t have to quit drinking forever, just for today, with my HP help that seems attainable.
It is, and it’s a miracle.
