This morning I made an important decision to do my morning routine rather than go to work early. I'd rather have one thing in my life consistent rather than lose that and gain a few extra hours of productivity. I am starting to adhere to the principle of putting sobriety first and foremost no matter what and enjoying anything in addition to that rather than trying to “wing it”. It's a more peaceful way of life and has much more of a solid foundation. It helps me put into work the first three steps by practicing putting recovery before everything else. I am very grateful for my recovery thus far and my journey is just beginning. I know I would not be able to handle the stressors of life well for any long period of time without a recovery program.
