Today, I begin to reprogram my thought processes to think as a sober alcoholic instead of a dry drunk. Much of my thinking has been under the influence and, without that influence, I have to believe that my thoughts will change — for the better. As such, I need to adapt myself to a perspective unfamiliar to me. Not doing so will make me little more than a dry drunk waiting for a wet one. And recovery is more than being dry. I must make a conscious decision that I will no longer think in terms of “me” and that the thinking patterns that enabled my alcoholic drinking must change. Today, I start to retrain my brain to think in terms of recovery and dismantle my thinking as the drunk that I am working to dropkick into yesterday. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
