I must at all times maintain my daily reprieve from my addiction. I must put God first every morning; when I am tempted by desire to do something else, like use a computer or my smartipants phone (whatever the rationalization) I must say “No!” and claim victory over temptation. Even if I am not up to reading, there is alway the Rosary, and perhaps Lectio Divina.

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
