Winning is a habit; unfortunately, so is losing.
—Vince Lombardi
Reflection
Winning over the curse of addiction or, as some say
the blessing, is very simple. You begin by not picking
up a drink or a drug. By not doing something, we are
doing something amazing—we are starting our recov-
ery. That's winning. Choose a bad action, like picking
up a drink, and you have lost at least one round.
Affirmation
I'll not bend the elbow this day; maybe I'll bend some-
one's ear.
