29Prayers,

Only difference between your story and mine is I am at 60+ days, and I don't read much. Since my sobriety I haven't been to a single meeting, and have only read/posted on this site. All in all, like you, once my head is there, I don't have problems following through on my personal commitments.

Like you, I have questioned if a broader program is required to ensure my success given my success thus far. I haven't resolved it yet, but this is what makes me think it might be a good idea:

1. I still don't resent or have negative feelings toward alcohol. I am afraid that its romance might convince me to do something stupid (drink) down the line.
2. My wife who is only a social drinker....well...still drinks. That might be temptation I haven't faced yet.
3. Everybody I tell, and I tell everybody, insists I am not an alcoholic. I probably need somebody/people who are not drinking the coolaid to tell me I am.
