Hi. When I got sick and tired of my so called attempts to get sober I started by DOING things to get me sober and stay sober more than a day. I resisted but by going to AA on a daily basis got the ball rolling. Many things combined to get me dry then more work is needed to keep me sober. It started with self honesty, eliminating the reasons to drink, meetings, meetings, more meetings, keep coming and getting involved. The bottom line for us is to NOT pick up the first drink. BE WELL
