Sounds like you're doing pretty well by using literature and SR, I depend on those things too to nurture my sobriety, they're an addition to my 12 Step program in AA.
I'm pretty relentless with myself about recovery, it's almost a 24/7 commitment for me. Each day begins with a small pile of meditation books while I eat breakfast, then I'm off to work where I spend any free time I have on SR. In the afternoons I take in a meeting and do service work. Prayer time for me is any time during the day when I feel the need. Go to bed sober, wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. It's worked for quite awhile now so I haven't felt the need to change my routine.
I think it's great that you're aware of the urges that hit when you're "lax". I've always felt that if I see myself moving in the direction of a drink, I can take the necessary action to get re-centered and focused on my sobriety.
Thank you for your thoughtful posts and inspiration!
