Step by Step
Wednesday, May 22, 2024
Today, reach into my past to measure the enormity of my present and try to grasp the scope of the life that recovery has given me. Where I once was helpless, hopeless, weak, apathetic, pathetic, selfish and destructive, today I have hope, strength, selflessness, compassion, passion and the courage born of humility to treat sobriety with awe and respect. While I cannot and do not want to live in or return to yesterday, I also do not want to forget it; its lessons can steer me from the same mistakes today. And all I have left behind and gained what I have now is through sobriety and, therefore, my sobriety is my No. 1 priority. Without it, I have nothing except for all I pray I have left behind. And our common journey continues. Step by step. – Chris M., 2024
