I’m going on 17 days clean from gambling today and wanted to make a post as I’m feeling quite strong this time. The thing that I find is helping me is the quote I saw someone post in this group, “one day or day one”. I use the meaning a little different than its intended I think. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be that you can dream about one day or start day one.
The way I’ve been using it to help my sobriety is I can get through this one day at a time or I can start back at 1 day sober again and repeating this to myself when I struggle lately is encouraging to me.
What do you repeat to yourself to motivate you to keep your sobriety?

“I love not drinking”. I say this to myself all the time.
The first thing I do every morning is write in the journalling section here “I’m not drinking today”. I’ve been writing it every day for almost 2 years

Thats a cool quote and you’re right it can be interpreted differently probably depending what stage you’re at. Either talking yourself into beginning or talking yourself into staying the course
