What was said

"He said, "I don't know. I know I'm not going to drink for one more day, Eddie, at a time." And that went 35 more years."

Ed Mylett recalls his father returning from getting help for alcohol addiction and describing sobriety as choosing not to drink for “one more day” at a time. Mylett says his father kept that approach for 35 years and it later shaped his own mindset about persistence.
