Welcome to SR.
I am not familiar with LifeRing but I'm glad it's working for you.
I did not drink for 13 years, 8 of those years enduring the 12 step route. I am now permanently abstinent and recovered with the help of Rational Recovery/AVRT method/technique. No more "one day at a time" for me.
There are many, many paths to recovery. I'm glad you seem to have found yours. I know I finally found mine.
Again, welcome.
