I hear you 24. My first sponsor told me time after time that "his" program might get me drunk. Obviously, "his" program was based on the AA program of working the steps, but what he meant was if I tried to do things the exact way he did them, I might have a problem. He followed this up with, "you wouldn't go into Sears, take a suit off the rack, pay for it and walk out without trying it on." So, we try things and see if it fits. Another good point here is that as long as I'm trying things to stay sober, it's pretty hard to get drunk. Your sponsor's other point about sobriety being progressive is also very true. This is why time, committment and constant vigilence is so important. I have to work at staying sober every bit as hard as I worked at staying drunk. For me, this is definately a day to day proposition. Thanks for your sharing.
