my daily reflections…

fer me, just gettin sober was what i was lookin fer when i came in; all i wanted to do was just stop drinkin. after meetin with my sponsor fer the 1st time he explained to me there were actions i needed to do to remain sober. just quittin drinkin was great, but i needed to do other things to support my sobriety, he suggested recovery was the key to long term sobriety. to remain in recovery i needed to follow the steps as a guide and do what they suggested. he said it was how he was able to keep his sobriety, by livin his recovery. all i wanted was to not drink anymore. the weight of my alcoholism had shown me how it had affected those around me and my personal life. so, fer me to get sober, and maintain any sobriety, i had to start livin a life of, and in, recovery. since the day my sponsor explained to me the difference between sobriety and recovery, i have lived the steps of recovery in my life as best as i could. as a result, my life has changed; ive been able to build a new life. 1 day@ a time...
