I just read your post and it reminded me to "keep it simple".

I just passed a month without alcohol (33 days now) Usually "milestones" are tricky for me, thin ice. I seem to get into trouble when I think past today.

If I get too far ahead of myself - I've sent the cart so far ahead of the horse, we (the horse and I) talk for hours about a mythical cart - does it exist, did it ever exist? - I end up on some goat trail.

Years ago, after I had hit bottom, I remember going to AA every day for over a month. I stayed sober and kept it simple. Later, I became less and less satisfied and started reading books "about" AA, and talking about theory.

While others simply did AA in practice and stayed sober, I wanted to philosophize and theorize. Eventually, of course, I went back out there. Others could see it and even warned me ahead of time.

Your post has helped me through a rough spot. I thought about going down that road (deadend) again.
