Hey 2 day - I will come back for this one very quickly, as I like you, and have read this thread. I dont need to do anything to stay sober, because I dont want to drink (my beliefs and values have changed sufficiently to end my addiction).

Its as simple as that. I used to believe that I had to do things to stay sober. Not so.

No one knows your motives like yourself?

I found leaving AA very, very difficult - so I used many of the alternatives for extra support (especially CBT); and now I have, at last, a bit of self belief and stability in my life. I have never been as happy, or 'sane' in my life. I have choices.

Good luck, 5
