The record for sobriety is 24 hours.
Sobriety is attained one day at a time. That means you have the opportunity in front of you to tie the all-time record for sobriety. You can do it today. Is it long term sobriety that you want? Well, let me share a little secret with you.
The secret to long term sobriety is short term sobriety.
Forget about next week, next month, and next year. Focus on the next:
- Hour
- Decision
- Temptation
The Bible warns, “You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes” (James 4:14). Recovery Step: Stevie Wonder was right when he said, “Time is long but life is short.” Focus on today. Tie the all-time record for sobriety. Stay sober for the next 24 hours.
