HC,
getting really engaged in daily participating was a huge help to me.
Staying sober is unlikely, unless I absolutely stop.
hmm.......actually, staying sober is impossible without stopping.
yes, i'm aiming for forever, but i've broken that commitment many times in my gazillion tries. but this time (2006) i understood that commitment internally wasn't enough. i had to add actions. one of those was participating online. another was a weekly secular meeting. reading; lots of reading about the various ways others had done it. talking about it. that kind of stuff.
participating here daily will be one way of being involved and staying aware.
