If you have been reading the various postings here, you should already be aware of the simple tried and true basics of recovery. Goings to meetings, getting and using a sponsor, writing and working thru the Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions, being of service at a Home Group, helping another alcoholic or addict stay clean every day, making daily contact with a God of your understanding, & reading fellowship literature are just a few.

Doing those things regularly and surrendering to my Higher Power's will for my life has worked to keep me clean and serene for 3 years, 6 months, and 4 days. Accepting reality just as it is keeps me in the here and now without being overly concerned about those things i cannot change. Looking forward instead of sideways keeps me moving in one direction. Being just who i am and what i am & accepting that helps me to give myself a break.

It can work for you if you work for it. What are you willing to do to stay clean & sober today?
