Hi there!
SR is just ONE tool I use to maintain my sobriety. I also use AA. They really help! The thing I have to remember is that no one has a "magic" answer or solution to staying sober. AA and SR will not "keep" me sober. I have to do the work and use the tools on a daily basis.
That being said, I find the stories of relapse to be helpful to my own sobriety. After I read them it sure doesn't make me want to go out and drink! The stories are always the same...miserable. :-(
My OWN relapse last year after 5.5 years of sobriety has helped me stay sober this time. I believe I relapsed because I stopped going to AA, SR etc and forgot "what" I was. I stopped doing the work to stay sober. I forgot I can't drink in moderation. This site helps me to remember why I don't want to drink today.
Good luck to you. Today can be the first day of the rest of your life!
