There is nothing to fear, except my potential?

[Guitarista]

6.30 a.m. here on a beautiful wednesday morning. 7th day of summer, and my 5th day of re-claimed freedom. The 5th day of deciding, and choosing to take my life back.

I don't think we need to 'wait' for sobriety. It is here with me today, right now. I know we need to at least get that first AF week out of the way, and that can take up all our focus and energy. But my attitude is this. Once we have 'settled' i.e. our withdrawal's have settled down, and/or disappeared, which can take a while for some of us, we can seize the day. We can start to live now. There is no reason not to adopt that attitude of living right now, on day 3, 4, 5, or 12. Why not? Yep, it can be scary, new, bamboozling! even, but for me, we can decide to be who we want to be, who we are, at anytime. We don't have to wait for 6 months or 1, 2 years sobriety, we can go for it NOW.

Today i am relaxed, but ruthless with my sobriety. Today, to protect my sobriety and precious life, i will take no prisoners, there will be no mercy, there is nothing to fear, only my potential.

And this i embrace, with open arms, and faith in me.

Hey G

You go! I agree-we have to live in the now. I read something that went something like this
Do not look back with regret, or forward with fear, but look around with awareness.

Thank you for the post. I cut/pasted and printed it out. I'll carry it with me to remind me to live one day at a time. One day of sobriety, a day well lived, can lead to many more sober days.
