Well... I'm a little late to this game but I will weigh in anyway. I am like Deb...religious/spiritual bit using science and pysch to get sOber...especially in those first few months.
Now, I'm at a year and I don't rely on much to keep me sober anymore...it's kind of like learning to drive...in the beginning it tKes a lot of work and thought...but now it's something I do without much thought.
I can't say that I surrendered or something...like deb I spent more time on my knees begging for Gods help...today I thank him for providing me with the tools I needed to get sober. But usually I forget to thank Him for that because I'm too busy thanking him for all the awesomeness in my life these days.
