Osher Günsberg Instagram – Last week, I crossed the threshold of 14 years of sobriety.
14 years, which sounds like a lot.
Really it was just 5114 days done pretty much exactly the same.
My man David taught me the pretty simple formula:
Get to bed without drinking or using, don’t hurt myself or anyone else, get help if I need it, try to help someone else, if I make a mistake try to make it right as quick a I can, then get your head on the pillow.
You do that, you’ve done it perfectly.
Simply do it again tomorrow.
And that’s kind of it.
There is absolutely no question that if I hadn’t stopped drinking I wouldn’t be here.
However, getting sober is one thing.
Staying sober is another.
At first, it’s pretty clear what you’ve got to do because the whole thing is new and you’re learning a new way of living your life and your choices are pretty clear.
Yet as you get a bit of time up, you realise that while the problems that came from your drinking aren’t a daily occurrence any more – the problems that you were drinking to avoid still linger.
So you have to deal with that stuff.
I made a podcast about some of the ways I deal with that stuff.
I hope you like it, or that it is something you can send to a mate who might need to hear it.
The link to listen is where you think it is, or search “Better Than Yesterday” in your app.
