Nikita Mehta: Embracing Sobriety One Day at a Time
I've been very lucky to this time around. But the way that I did, that was I kept my small incremental goals very palpable, meaning like I'm going to get to, I'm going to, just like you were saying, I'm going to sit and brush my teeth every day for days, and it was like, yeah, I'm going to sit and look at the way that I am showing up in romantic relationships and actually write down what I'm acting like, and at The End Of Those Days, once I've seen that I'm no longer falling into that same pattern.
