Alcoholism is progressive. Other things are too. But alcoholism is sneaky. You think you are cured, but all the while it is progressing within you. It is pretty much that way with anything I try to be rid of. Bad habits don’t go away just because I did some good practice today. Skip tomorrow and the habit will come back because it is always progressing. Maybe that is why we have to keep doing our examination of conscience and admit our faults to someone even if they did not go public today. They lurk. Keeps me on my toes.

Can't stay sober on yesterday's actions is always a good reminder, especially with a subtle foe following like a shadow.
