A starting point

We all need to start our journey in recovery somewhere.  Drunkenness is not the common cold.  It just won't go away on it's own.  My journey started when I was finally able to be honest with myself.  Telling myself the truth was all I needed to jump start my recovery.  I had to see myself as others had seen me for years.  The next thing I had to do was take action and get into some type of daily recovery program.  I had to take all of that new found honesty and share it with others who were a lot like me.  And the final part of the process was to go to God and ask Him to give me the courage to start this journey, work it one day at a time and see it through no matter how long it took.
