But those of you that have been around recovery for a while know that that's not how we look at life. The way that we look at life is 24 hours a day. I look at today. It doesn't matter if it's a Saturday or a Monday. It is the same to my body. Today is a 24 hour period. That is what I, how I look at it. And I just get through today sober.
