Sobriety: More Than This Moment
Sobriety is not about fixing everything at once. It’s about choosing life in the face of pain and uncertainty. The behavior, drink or drug promises escape but offers guaranteed eventual destruction. You have the strength to overcome it, or you wouldn’t be fighting it in the first place.
You don’t need to have perfect peace or answers—just a willingness to keep going. Write your thoughts, breathe, and reach out to those who understand.
Remember, the world needs people like you—people who fight, love, and refuse to give up. You are more than your struggle and more than this moment.
