The key to staying sober
I’ve been in recovery for about 10 months now. However, I am 8 days sober. I have had troubles staying sober. With the last relapse, I have had many suggestions as to what I needed to now do to stay sober. The frustrating part is that everyone’s got their own opinion: go to A.A. meetings, work the steps, engage in fellowship, commit to service positions, just don’t drink, prayer, meditation, honesty, be consistent with meds, proper nutrition, exercise, etc.
Chances are, all of these things help somebody stay sober, but I’m trying to focus on one or a few so I don’t relapse again. Is there a solution that works for most people and works better than all the rest? And if it’s the steps, well, I was working the steps. Perhaps being partially into the 9th step isn’t a failsafe.
Any thoughts?
