Just for today, if I doubt or fear what lies ahead on the road toward sobriety, I will remember that I am walking Robert Frost's "Road Less Traveled," less traveled, at least, by me. If I become shaky or uncertain about what bends I might encountered on this new road, let me look back at the road I hope to leave behind, a road that is well-traveled and littered with shattered whiskey bottled, broken dreams and promises, losses of people and places and things. If on the road I walk now I the uncertainty is strong enough to propel me to turn around and get back on the other road I know to well, let me not forget the reasons I left that one for the road less traveled because, unlike the less walked road, I know all too well the twists and turns of the other one. And with the stinging memories of that road I've left behind, the courage and strength the Program has already given me can make the road less traveled less uncertain. And, today, our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
