Ok. If you’ve been sober a couple years and asking yourself what’s next? Where do I go from here? I’ve done the stepwork, I put the time in and got a few sponsees, I’ve read, prayed, been to a retreat or two and got a homegroup but still have this sting that something’s missing - you’re not alone.

Church seems so unappealing but maybe that’s my disease. AA is awesome but lately I hear the same **** every meeting, from the same people and it’s old news and boring. Don’t get me wrong - I’ll never stop going but for now, I’m just kinda stagnant.

I want to delve into relapse prevention ideas and keep the “what it was like” fresh and still somehow foster that newcomer passion through whatever means possible.

What are some helpful thoughts on:
1. Relapse prevention
2. Staying “in the boat” - i.e. in the middle of recovery centered lifestyle.
3. Maintaining that drive and newcomer passion to work on my recovery like I used to during my pink cloud.
