I listened to a podcast episode featuring a friend’s interview about his life after recovery.

He remarked that for him, it isn’t enough to just make the choice not to use, lie, or otherwise break his sobriety.

His standard of excellence was to become a man who didn’t even consider cues to other possibilities that temptation places in his mind.

His goal is to have one thought only, and that being an answer of yes to all the right things.

Answering no to the wrong things is always the first step to giving them the moment–albeit brief–to even be an option.
