I no longer need to go to meetings, live the 12 steps, talk to my sponsor & other alcoholics, and learn anything more about alcoholism. I have learned my lesson and I now have the knowledge I need to say sober without any help. Occasionally, I still get these thoughts. The re-emergence of the ego, self-will.
My sponsor planted a thought in my head for when I get too cocky. If I feel so damn good about my sobriety, get to a meeting and help someone. I may not feel like I need a meeting but it isn’t all about me.
Most of the time, I have no issues with doing what I have to do. I actually enjoy it for the most part. I know where I would end up if I stopped. AA is a true privilege and a blessing. Meetings plus the 12 steps practically guarantees my sobriety.
