STOP ASKING WHY

You drank because you’re an alcoholic. That’s what we do. Who fucking cares the reason. Just fucking do it. Just fucking GET SOBER.

The more time we spend pondering WHY we drank (or WHY we are still drinking), the closer we are to fucking death. Period.

Look, you can go into depth about the whys and whatnot later....you do that in stepwork, but for now, just don’t fucking think.

That’s where we get ourselves into trouble— we think too fucking much.

RELAPSE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A PART OF YOUR STORY

I was reading something on social media saying that, “Relapse is a part of recovery.” NO. NO, it’s not. Relapse most certainly does not have to be a part of your recovery. I know tons of people in recovery who have not relapsed (as of yet). I say “yet” because I cannot see around their corners…..only God can do that. Relapse is a part of MY story and that has been MY path. There is not a ONE SIZE FITS ALL for recovery. What works for you, might not work for me or your sister, but it might work for your best friend.

I used to be sooooo super judgemental of
