Using "First Things First," we have found it helpful
to concentrate first on sobriety alone,
steering clear of any risky emotional entanglements.
Immature or premature liaisons are crippling to recovery.
Only after we have had time to mature somewhat beyond
merely not drinking are we equipped to relate maturely to other people.
When our sobriety has a foundation firm enough
to withstand stress,
then we are ready to work through
and straighten out other aspects of our lives.
I cannot think my way into sober living.
I need to live my way into sober thinking.
