Before sobriety, I lived with a constant sense of impending doom. My nervous system was fried, and my health was failing while my mind was numb to the real danger—myself. My relationships deteriorated, and I ultimately lost my job because I had become a high-risk employee. Self-reliance was no longer enough. I was confident that I’d crossed a point of no return with alcohol. Recognizing a power greater than myself, whether God, community, or simply the order of the universe, converted my fears into curiosities and my crisis into purposeful consistent action.

Simple repeated habits, like daily meetings, morning reflections, nightly prayers, personal inventories, and regular exercise, steadily build evidence that the program works. Over time these repetitions rewire the brain, making sober decisions more automatic and reinforce emerging faith.

If you wonder, “What if I commit fully to sobriety and it doesn’t work?”, the answer is simple, albeit not easy. Only full commitment provides the evidence you need to prove that it works, while partial measures avail us nothing. Consistency can defeat doubt every time, and from that consistency, faith is born.

This month I'm participating in a fundraiser for vestibular disorders awareness because I know what it’s like to live with something you can’t fully explain and no one can see. Visit my fundraising page: https://s2b.funraise.org/fundraiser/rachel-abbassi
