As each new day passes, you strive to accomplish as much as possible in any twenty-four hour period. Initially it is exciting rediscovering things with a sober eye and perhaps trying new things as well.

As time goes on you may begin to notice a certain melancholy when doing some mundane task that takes you back to before your drinking got out of hand. This task may be more difficult than you remember it being or not taking as long to complete. One thing is apparent, you realize now how much time you wasted on drinking, how much time has passed, and how much you have to make up for.

It is critical to focus on your sobriety for that day, hour or even the next minute if that is going to help you from taking that first drink.

I simply could not smile anymore; people I was now depending on were walking around me on egg shells. Getting sober wasn’t supposed to suck the life blood out of me. I had stopped drinking before often to ‘dry’ out and after a few days of the shakes and the longest hangovers in recorded history, I always seemed to be able to get by without alcohol, at least until my next drink.

When you, as a physician, help someone to accept Well-being enough that they allow the Well-being, whether they allow it in this physical body or whether they have to release this physical body to allow it, it’s still the same thing.
