When I call my sponsor in terror and tell her that I'm thinking about a drink, she just laughs and says "of course you are, you're an alcoholic, you expected to never think about a drink again?" I guess I did; the miracle is in not picking it up and doing it!

If I can't do one day at a time, I do one hour at a time...if I can't do that, I do 5 minutes. I'm also told to ask my higher power to help, I'm powerless after all...
