I understand that everyone’s journey is completely different, but here are two big things I have learned on my sobriety journey:
1. Be honest with yourself. Definitely easier said than done. This one took me years. Chances are that if you have to ask yourself if there is a problem, there probably is one.
2. Do it for yourself. Another one that is hard for me. I started off saying I was going sober for my wife and kids, and I was corrected on this a lot. Sobriety starts with you and needs to be a decision you make for yourself. Self care is a priority and you have to take care of yourself first.
For those of you on a sobriety journey, what are some of the big things that you have learned?
