Life is hard, and the sober life is harder! Why do we push ourselves to say resist the urges that seem so strong? Why do we work hard to be emotionally and mentally present in a world that is so stressful?
The answer is that we do the work for the prize at the end of the journey. If we don't know why we do what we do, then no amount of clever how will get us through the hard times. The why comes out of our core values. The why is our vision.
In this episode, the first of a recurring series on sobriety tips, I talk about vision and values, about PSMART goals, about legacy, and planning for the short, medium, and long term future.
