Acceptance is fundamental to maintaining sobriety. Without it you don't really stand a chance.
I am glad I don't have to worry about losing my wallet, keys, cards anymore, but more than that my self-respect which you can't put a price on.
Remember how you feel now when the thought of a drink enters your head in the future and make sure that you have built up enough defences to make sure that you don't give the thought any 'thinking time' in which to grow...
All the best.
