Making Dry Spells Last -- One Day At a Time
Sometimes it's good to step back and listen to the thoughts of other recovering alcoholics. Here is one that came to me on Facebook yesterday.
There is such a huge difference between Dry and Sober. There were so many times during my drinking career that I would take a month off or "stop" drinking just so I could shut people up. Most of that time was spent dreaming about my next drink or wondering how long I had to make this dry spell last before people left me alone.
When I finally got "SOBER" it was life changing. Sobriety and Recovery is a daily process filled with growth, forgiveness, spirituality, hope, love and so many other amazing things. I always say that if the rest of the world just lived by our principles the world would be such a better place.
I'm so thankful to be sober and not dry. I've met many a "sober" person who is completely miserable because they're simply not drinking. If you are going to be miserable then what's the point??
