I'm in early recovery, just got a job as a national news reporter, entering a career 400 miles from anyone I know and my vices are drugs (anything put in front of me generally, barring opiates), women and the drink (about 12 pints a day at least).
Tried AA, therapy, willpower through fear but it doesn't stick. What worked for you guys?
I'd start by taking yourself out of situations where drugs or alcohol are "put in front of you". Then perhaps you can redouble your efforts with AA or some other method. None of them will "stick" unless you do the necessary work.
