Reminded me, through a friend who is struggling with the 'blah's' at 3 years sober, that no matter how long we stay sober, it is still going to be a carnival ride at times. Life will have its ups and downs, because it is just that... LIFE. We spoiled ourselves into ruination by getting rebellious after a few 'down-days', and saying "F*** THIS!!" and picking up that horrible drink. We don't have to do that anymore. We can just not pick up one day at a time and it WILL get better and it DOES get better... all the while we still have a choice.
I am in this for the long-haul, and I need to remember that when I get the poor-me's.... Taking a drink does not solve anything. NOTHING.
