Sobriety is like Riding a Bicycle
When you first start to pedal, it's difficult - you're starting from a dead stop, and it takes alot of energy to get that bike in motion. But as you keep pedaling and gain momentum, it becomes easier and you start to enjoy the scenery instead of just focusing on the effort of moving forward.
No matter how much practice you have, you sometimes fall off the bike. You hit a pothole, or an unforeseen patch of ice, and you go down.
It doesn't change the fact that you've come a long way - it doesn't minimize the progress you've made - as long as you scrape yourself off and start pedaling again.
Don't misunderstand - I'm not struggling at the moment, I'm on day 22 and loving my new group much more than I expected. I'm determined and ready to start making more changes on day 30 that I'm beyond excited for - nervous, scared, apprehensive - absolutely! But ready to continue to the journey and ride!
