Repair the roof before the storm
I need to keep fixing the cracks in my personality to stay sober. I need to repair the roof before the storm hits. The storm is that moment where a drink or drug looks like it will solve my problem or take away my pain. If I do not have a strong roof (a strong body, mind, and Spirit), the storm will wipe me out. Stopping drinking was crucial for me, but rebuilding and changing patterns (fixing the roof before the storm hits) have been very important to keep me on the journey of sobriety. Meetings have a very important role, because being among equals and sharing what helped each one of us out of the darkness, helps me to find my own way. Reaching out to the alcoholic who still suffers, as they have done to me with love,
helps me day by day to save myself and renew the vows of the 1st step.
To-do:
Today I will connect with someone who is trying to stay clean and sober. Connection is one way I keep my roof in good repair.
