What's your best tips for Long term recovery

I use to post on an AA site but moved on months ago as I didn't connect with that program - some members.
I received an email today asking

'''I was just curious, what kind of non-12-step thing did you end up
following? I myself don't quite relate to the 12 steps, it seems to be a
lot more about crying "look at me i feel bad" as opposed to actually
aggressively pursuing self-control and discipline'''

The sender clearly explained he was asking advice on long term recovery and what works - so not an opinion on AA is it wasn't positive or constructive.

My best tips were
1. Meditation
2. Self / character psychology improvement books like dialetic therapy
& i should have included
3. Daily positive actions like ringing friends abs family
4. Exercise

So i was wondering what other technics, books, courses, actions etc etc have had a major effect and might help others (including me!) in the long term
Thanks
