Overconfidence

Today is Day 21, and it presents a paradox. I no longer feel chronically tired, I no longer have the perpetual headache. I’m not bloated, and my face isn’t swollen. I feel like I was 30- strong and full of energy. All in all, I feel like declaring victory over alcohol, but therein lies the paradox. My sobriety will never be found in one total victory. It is found one day at a time, and sometimes 10 minutes at a time. While I feel strong and victorious, I need to be humble and always stay within the day. Anything else less to defeat.
