I like to go check on the internet what happened in the past on certain dates, like on birthdays of my friend I will tell them how funny it is that exactly 100 years ago at that date some great thinker was born too or something.
What about your sobriety date??
Today I restarted my counter on my app and I thought that 7th July was a boring date so I went to check. I picked four events for my date:
-
7th July 1928: Sliced bread is sold for the first time by the Chillicothe Baking Compagny of Chillicothe Missouri.
-
7th July 1954: Elvis Presley makes his radio debut with his first recording “That’s All Right”.
-
7th July 2005: London’s attenta, four suicide bombers killed 56 people and injuring over 700 others in the transport system.
-
7th July 2017: adoption of the international Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, with the goal of leading towards their total elimination.
I picked those because it remembers me that everything starts somewhere, from a first try (from sliced bread to Elvis, the first step is always necessary), and also it remembers me that humans have to potential of doing huge things, sometimes for the worst (suicide bombers, RIP Londoniens) and sometime for the Greater Good (the treaty).
All those can be linked to my today’s decision of sobriety. I can choose to see the fun in it, one slice at a time, lol, I can see the dreams I have and could be able to attain if I stick to it like Elvis, I can see how destroying the other side of the story can be, and I can see how we can together do great things for humanity - and for me it can’t be while drinking because I’d be a complete waste of potential.
I found this exercice interesting! Hope you enjoy the idea 
Have good day guys.
but you did take a decision ! Great for you !
who I do not know, dying of an overdose on my sober date could mean something mystically relevant.
