Today, I will not waste valuable time that should be spent on progressing in sobriety to fight any urge for "just one" drink: I already know the deception of "just one." AA has armed me with the Steps to dodge the bullet of temptation, and personal experience shows time and again the consequences if I give in. In the end, the temptation to drink "just one" is a simple choice, and that choice like any other has consequences - and I alone will be responsible to those consequences. They have taken too much from me already. Thus, the choice is simple: DON'T DRINK. Today, I don't have time to deal with the anguish of temptation or wondering if I can get away with "just one." I can't. Maybe more significantly, I don't want to. Case closed. Today, I'll focus my emotional energy on something more productive, like progressing in sobriety. And our common journey continues. After the tears. - Chris M., 2014
