from my inbox:
Rollerskate: “Day 16 sober. Sometimes I wonder if I can keep it going … but the longer I keep going the more I would like to keep going … so for now I am going to keep going. (5 “goings” in one email – nice!)”
[can’t argue with that logic. i remember when i hit day 78, my fear of regret was MORE than any desire i had for a drink…“i’m afraid of having regret take the form of a glass of wine. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what’s keeping me going. at least tonight.”]
In my darker sober moments, fear of regret keeps me going, too. I do not want to go back to square one.
“what I feel in my sober living” is not worth giving back to Wolfie for the TEMPORARY and short relief from a drink …
Well said . That is exactly is what keeps me going
