Dee, if you are up for sharing, I would like to hear what your path was. I know you didn't do AA, and am curious about your approach.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure how you want to quantify lasting sobriety, but I will tell you how I got to a year.
I went to an AA meeting about everyday. I embraced the program of recovery and the book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I felt better on some days - walked out mad on other days. Felt like tossing it in more than once. Nothing I did was perfect I don't recommend the exact way I did things to anyone, ever.
I did one thing perfectly though - I did not drink and have not changed my sobriety date. Good days or bad I am an alcoholic. If I want a chance at any sort of life I needed to stop and stay stopped.
I think overall do what cause you to have action and not just passive thoughts. This idea of action helped me.
You came to the right place - lot's of templates for how to. Can't wait for you to share your experiences in sobriety
