I’ve sponsored many chronic relapsers .. The ones that are able to stay sober are the ones that do what the big book asks them to do, and after time it becomes their life. Seems with each one there a big awakening that takes place. Some big thing that was missing seems to click in place.
Also my Dad was a chronic relapser, couldn’t stay sober for 3 months over 10 years.. after his 7th treatment, something clicked. He told me he saw the real truth of what he really was. He died with 28 years of sobriety, many of those employed as an AODA counselor.
I just hope and pray a higher power will keep those still suffering safe so they can find the miracle.
