August 5, 2026 - Sobriety First

My thought for today is Sobriety First. The Big Book reminds me that "we all had to place recovery above everything, for without recovery we would have lost both home and business." I try to plan my life around my meetings and not my meetings around my life. If I need to do something on meeting night, I do it before the meeting or after the meeting, never instead of the meeting, and for the reason already mentioned. Without my sobriety, I would have nothing anyway.
