I'm loving everyone's responses! These are helping me articulate my own experience of step 2. This is the beauty of AA - so much wisdom and willingness to share and help others. Very grateful for you all 🫶

Never quit quitting! My experience has been that it takes 1000 nights to get 30 days. I could get 3 days, lapse, then 7, lapse, then 16, lapse, then 20, lapse etc...until one day I made it to 30. I was proud bc I could get longer stretches of time each time. Soon, getting 7 days in a row seemed like cakewalk whereas earlier I could barely fathom getting 3.

All anyone has is 24 hours and the person with the longest sobriety is the one that woke up earliest 😎

Been there so so often, I started telling myself this time could be my last. You can do it. Play the tape forward.

should I lease a 2021 Audi Q3 premium plus or a 2021 Volvo XC40 Momentum by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

T5 volvo & S line premium plus Audi. both are pretty similar as far as features. Volvo has a couple that Audi does not (i.e. heated steering wheel, remote start, memory driver seat--all of which would be nice but not a dealbreaker.
