you havent drank YET. if i dont go to meetings/call sponsor/work steps/pray/ or help others not necessarily in that order, i am just a dry drunk white knuckling my way through the day. im not going to tell you how to live your life cardboard, but doing all those things helps me stay sober a day at a time.
im a type 1 diabetic and relate my clean time/sobriety just like my dis EASE of addiction, i wake up in the morning check my bloodsugar count carbs and take my insulin, this prevents me from feeling shitty and ruining my body. same thing with my recovery if i follow some simple rules i can live a happy joyous life. not saying you wont stay sober but in order for my dope fiend ass i have to go to meetings and take suggestions from my sponsor to stay clean/sober.
props bruno! sounds like the promises are coming true for you dawg, i used to hate kicking it with my parents, but its always cool getting a call or calling them and asking them how theyre doing rather than the other side of the coin. GOOD SHIT EVERYONE!!!
