<p>I recently heard this question, and initially, it struck me as a little funny &mdash; simply by asking the question, aren&rsquo;t we going against the advice?</p> <p>However, I&rsquo;ll be honest and admit that I often used to wonder the same thing. When I first quit drinking, I tried hard to focus on getting through the current moments, but despite my best efforts, my thoughts often drifted to the future.</p> <p>Trying so hard to stay in the moment &mdash; to get through the current day &mdash; can become surprisingly exhausting. I would wonder how long I&rsquo;d have to keep it going. A year? A decade? The rest of my life?</p> <p>Now I&rsquo;m six years sober, and those exhausting days are a distant memory.

I think I&rsquo;m probably going to ruffle a few feathers with this answer, but the short answer is: not really.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/exploring-sobriety/when-to-take-sobriety-one-day-at-a-time-f8c6756b416"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
