Great advice on this thread.

My experience is that it's not so much what you want to do but rather what you have to do.

Here is what I did:

AA (meetings, steps, sponsor)
Sober Recovery
Support of family members
Self-help books
Spiritual books
Journaling
Keep very, very busy (in earlier recovery)

For the most part, this is not stuff that I wanted to do (I initially hated some of it) but I just couldn't live like that anymore.

It reminds me of a line from a song by The Fray "Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same."
