Welcome back WeekendShadow. I think you may be on to something here. Although I think what you need to focus on more is getting out of your addiction's way. You have what it takes to be sober inside you already, we all do. Sometimes we do need to bring in help from the outside though - whether that's through posting here more often, going to meetings, seeing a counselor, reading, etc. It has to be a proactive process where you commit time each and every day to work on being sober, not just waiting until an excuse or a craving pops up...it's usually too late when that happens.
