I first went to a lot of meetings. That didnt work. I then did few meetings, that didnt work. I tried to work the steps, in order and not delay. That worked. Then my body was craving sugar from all the vodka coolers I was drinking, so I had sugar candy on me at all times. I then got a lunch pale and found work. Between the job, the sponsor, working the steps, going to meetings, service work, helping others I was recovered.
