How long have you been clean/sober? You're right -- easy does it!  We can only do what we can do -- and sometimes we can't do THAT.
If you're newly clean/sober, do like I did --- I used to have to take it a minute at a time. Looking into the future -- even to the end of the day was just too much for me. I could only take it a tiny bit at a time. That went on for months!!! Some of us recover more slowly than others -- there's nothing wrong with that.
And sometimes we come close to a relapse -- so we have to use our "original tricks" and steps that got us clean in the first place. Go back to the beginning & start over. If you're using a 12 step program, go back to Step #1. Keep working the steps -- those are the only things that keep me sober.
And remember K.I.S.S. -- Keep It Simple Stupid. LOL Best of luck! Hugs, Lee
