Quitting drinking is only the beginning. What we choose not to do after we put the bottle down is just as important as what we choose to do.
In this Daily Trudge, we’re covering the most common traps that take recovering alcoholics off the beam — resentment, isolation, self-pity, drifting from the basics, and thinking we’re “good now.”
Staying sober means avoiding the behaviors that pull us back into fear, ego, and self-destruction.
Today we talk about the things we don’t do if we want long-term sobriety: • Don’t isolate • Don’t stop doing the simple things • Don’t rely on self-will • Don’t run from feelings • Don’t forget quitting drinking is only Step One
Recovery thrives when we avoid the pitfalls that once destroyed us.
