The goal isn't to be sober. The goal is to love yourself so much that you don't need to drink.

In following the 12 Steps, the person in recovery gains a better understanding of his/her problems. Sober day after sober day results in the formation of new habits, and at the end of each 24-hour cycle, the business of staying sober becomes incrementally less fearsome. Not easy, mind you, but with the positive reinforcement of another successful day.
Each day teaches a different lesson of trust and calm in the midst of life's storms. God's commands don't change. Be grateful, calm, and loving to all. Leave each soul better for having met you or heard you. For every kind of person, the unspoken message is the same: demonstrate a spirit of calmness and trust in Him.
For all of us on this Monday, I pray for calm, for peace, and for the wisdom to know the difference between the things we can change and the things we must accept.
Blessings,

Romans 12: 1-2
