"However, I do not consider support in any way *necessary* for me to abstain. In the final analysis, I have to keep myself clean and sober - nobody else will do it for me." JohnBarleycorn.
You hit the nail on the head! Without a real commitment to Be and STAY sober, relapse is unavoidable on matter how many meetings or professional help one gets. Like you said- Nobody else will do it for you!
