Steve's Guide To Getting Sober

Subtitle: Notes On Recovery

1. Don't Drink. Just take it one day at a time and simply don't drink today. That's a goal you are capable of accomplishing.

2. Call. Pick up the phone and call someone. They can talk you out of whatever impulse you're thinking of following.

3. Find A Meeting. There are support groups for you. Find them. Talk to people who feel the way you feel.

4. Honesty. Be honest with yourself about what you're doing and whats going on. If a friend asks you, tell them the truth.

5. Ask For Help. If you need help, ask for it. No more excuses.

I realize that this list, in a way, outs myself. That's intentional. It is a list of things that are beneficial that I've found from experience and from research.
