For me there are four major things I have to remember. Don't drink, go to meetings, communicate with my sponsor, and work and re-work the steps. Everyone I've seen drink after a time of sobriety have done these things in reverse. If I ever stop working the steps, talking to my sponsor and going to meetings, the drink is just a matter of time.
