Is it possible to make too big a deal about getting sober?

I see so many books, approaches, programs, forums, and meetings...and so many chronic relapsers (myself included). I wonder if I am making too complicated an issue of how to get sober; ever seeking and never deciding; always discussing and thinking, but never doing; always trying, but never succeeding... Might I have built too much mystery into the solution? Maybe sobriety is more simple and straightforward than I currently think, but I am too afraid of...success, or failure.

I am not trying to undermine any approaches, but I simply don't know.
