Im in early soberity. I will always keep trying and never give up. Been a long time since i have had a substantial amount of clean time, but im ready to heal. One day at a time and with gods love.
I had to learn to maintain sobriety i had to be in action everyday. I can't rest on the laurels of yesterday's sobriety. I know what worked yesterday to keep me sober. Imma do thst, and better today. Do I do it perfectly everyday? I'd be lying to anyone thst is reading this. The point is that I reflect daily, see what opportunities there were and .ake a plan to make those changes.
In early sobriety I had to do what other people do to get and stay sober.
Read the Book
Go to Meetings
Ask for Help
Get a Sponsor
Work the Steps
Help Others
Be of service
Pray
Meditate
Shampoo, Rinse, Repeat
Doing the above and a few other simple, not necessarily easy, things have given me 24 hours that have added up. I keep centered what is in front of me and not worry about the future.
My hope is you've had enough pain that you'll try something new, and a new design for living.
