What made you want to get sober? Remember those reasons. Write them out.

Humans are idiots.
In the sense that the human condition is one that seems to forget after time has passed how terrible something was.
Usually when you have had enough, you reach the conclusion that it is enough. Sometimes you just know this, sometimes you have to go through it yourself, and sometimes you learn from other peoples mistakes.
Be lucky in that, you got free, that alot of people dont and you dont know if you pick up again what will happen, where it will take you, the destruction, or whether you will put it down again or your AV will have a field day.
Something happens around 4-5 mos that you have to fight through it again.
Go back to the basics and core feeling of why you gave up in the first place. Read rich's thread on how he is going through a drunk driving episode, and find something new to motivate you to replace what you think you are missing from not being able to join in on the fall drinking scene.
And fight through the cravings to solidify your new fall normal.
