That! Exactly that.
That’s how you start. And that’s how it sometime will be even when you have been sober for a longer time.
That’s what one day at a time means. You tell yourself to make it to the end of the day, the end of the current hour, the end of the current minute, the end of the current breath. You do whatever it takes to make it.
And when you have strength and courage for more, you make a plan.
And when you have a plan you learn better tools to deal with life than your DOC.
And then you go back to dealing with life. One day at a time. Whatever it takes.
