I attended a lot of AA meetings the first year as well as began attending church and joining a bible group...I also began volunteering and looking after aging parents. The goal is to achieve a strong spiritual being and in the meantime, the more I have to be accountable for the less chance of me going back out and drinking. I know that one drunk will wipe out all of my progress. The longer I go the better I feel...I have almost three years but still have a long way to go...
On another note...for me watching programs such as Intervention (Canada and US) really hit the spot sometimes as well as movies about alcohol and drug addiction. The more graphic the better! I need to be reminded how horrifying and sad active addiction is!
