Step by Step
Monday, March 8, 2021
Today, if I doubt or fear what lies ahead on the road of 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 encounter on this unfamiliar path, let me look back at the road I hope to leave behind, a road that is well-traveled and littered with broken whiskey bottles, shattered dreams and promises, losses of people and places and things. If on the road I walk now the uncertainty is fearful enough to tempt me to turn around and get back on the other road I know too well, let me not forget the reasons I left that one for the road less traveled: unlike the less walked road, I know all too well the twists and bends of the other one. And with the stinging memories of the road I've left behind, the Program has given me the map of the road less traveled -- the road to recovery. And, today, our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2021
