This is something I've repeatedly heard by those with time under their belt who picked up.
It's rarely planned. It just happened.
a couple of thoughts on this: they get busy with life...well yes! and so they should. getting and staying sober i would hope would lead to getting busy with life....and incorporating" these principles" into that life we get busy with.
my other thought is that our info about these things from people who leave, relapse and come back is only one side of the coin, as we don't usually hear from those who leave and are fine.
