One Minute Sober Message 002 > Don’t Drift

Sometimes, when you’re trying to quit drinking, the voice in your head can get really loud. So I send out free one minute audio messages of encouragement (and ass-kicking) to anyone who wants them. This is a transcript of One Minute Message #002.

If you’re sober
then you keep doing what you’re doing.

Whatever sober tools you’re using now,
keep using them.
Don’t drift from your supports.

Yes, you can listen to an audio more than once.
You can read a blog.
You can reach out.
You can email.

All those things that your brain says
(‘Do you think I need to keep doing this?’) …
All those tools,
each one might only be contributing about 5% toward your success,
but you don’t know which one is the key one.

So you do all of them.

You know why?
Because having a new day one sucks rocks.

And once you have sober momentum you do not fuck with it.

And you can read *this* again.
