I love your quote about baby steps as well, and that's a theme that has been rolling around in my mind lately. I can't quite pin it down just yet. Something about how meeting small goals can turn into larger goals and thus build momentum. Getting into the "zone." That sort of thing. Congratulations on your 10 years of sobriety....that is quite a journey. Good luck to you and God bless. Thank you for the kind words, Steven.

And your advice. I have always had a real problem with goals in my life. Because of a deep rooted defeatist attitude on life, I could never finish anything I started. When I made up my mind to stop drinking over 10 years ago, I decided to look soberiety as a process and not a destination. It worked for me. A friend of mine told me to take "baby steps - and someday you will be able to look back at those steps and bronze them." Recovery is all about the journey.
