My thought for today is sobriety first. In the early days of AA, Dr. Silkworth said a SLIP was when Sobriety Lost Its Priority. For me, sobriety needs to be my top priority. I remember telling my wife almost thirty years ago that sobriety was the most important thing in my life and that if she ever tried to get in between me and my program that there would be a fight and she would lose. My sobriety comes before everything else because without my sobriety I would eventually lose everything else anyway. Sobriety doesn't guarantee everything will be perfect, but losing it almost guarantees that everything else will eventually be compromised. Putting sobriety first allows me to show up for others, to be present.
