There's no need to take on the monumental task of never drinking again, I just need to not drink today.  Taking it one day at a time makes it manageable.   This mindset has carried over from sobriety into almost every other aspect of my life.  It has made me more productive at work, able to take on bigger challenges, and has allowed me to finally make longstanding dreams of mine a reality.  The key is not getting overwhelmed, and taking whatever it is - One Day At A Time - enables me to keep everything manageable.
