In recovery, drifting is going backwards. But so is moving forwards too fast. The world of impatience, from Pony Express to Snail Mail- the world we live in- is not especially conducive to recovery. The world we live in, the world of "we want it yesterday" makes recovery difficult, I suppose, our culture changed by the rush of the global economy and the internet seems to bring the possibility of a next drink closer somehow.
My sobriety is in a delicate balance. Can I remain sober and sane in this insane world? My 'can-do' spirit answers, "yes, we can."
We alcoholics can do together what most of us seem unable to do alone: Be sober, stay sober, live sober.
