There is a huge difference in strategy. Being recovered, whether it be for a long time or a short time, means that I am placed in a position of neutrality towards alcohol. It has no allure for me. I'm not avoiding it. I'm a free man.
Without that recovery experience, all bets are off. The plan, however, is simple. I have to be willing to go to any lengths. If I can't be somewhere with absolute certainty of not drinking, then I have no business being there. No exceptions. My sobriety comes first in my life.
