I think I get what you mean JimThere:

These are pretty good tricks & tips for managing one's abstinence. However, if I could manage my own abstinence I would not need the spiritual angle of recovery. Most of these tricks are psychological tips for abstaining one-day-at-a-time (struggling).

In my case I cannot manage my abstinence because I have lost the power of choice and need a power greater than myself to manage my sobriety for me. Now that I have surrendered, my sobriety is no longer any of my business.
