Yeah, this is the answer. Great post.
What works for me:
Regular NA meeting attendance
having a home group and doing service
step work
meditation- every day, twice a day
exercise
laughter
listen to and play music
try to never get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired
visualization practice
be aware of people, places, and things that are triggers and avoid them at all costs
proper nutrition
not too much caffeine or cigarettes(working on quitting cigs)
talk to and hang out with recovering friends to include my sponsor
be mindful of obsessive/compulsive behaviors not involving drugs/alcohol- this can be a path back to using so i try to pause, take 3 complete breaths, and let go of it when this happens
spend as much time outdoors as possible
as far as not drinking/drugging, only worry about today. the day's take care of themselves
be present in each moment
don't get in the vicinity of and for the love of all things sacred and beautiful, NEVER pick up a drug or drink. I don't think anyone will forcefeed me the stuff so if i don't put it in my hands i cannot get high
