I never got sober longer than 1-2 days for several years before starting to be active on SR. And since then I have not relapsed. Surely it's also my commitment to recovery and working on it in other ways as well, but I learned mostly from SR how to get and remain sober, what to do and what not to do, plus simply the connection with so many great people has been extremely valuable for me. I also learned a lot of things about myself through my SR experience. This community has been far more than a tool for me, and I have the feeling it will continue to influence my future as well.
