If AA helped the last time, I’d do it again, and keep doing it! A close relative had 30 years of sobriety when he died from cancer. He never stopped practicing his sobriety. AA was his main tool and he was a sponsor to so many. I believe that most people who achieve long term sobriety owe this to ongoing practice, whatever that means for them individually. Relapses happen even after years of sobriety when we become complacent. I came close to a relapse a year ago and I came back to SR. SR has been a huge support for me in staying connected to the recovery community and staying sober. I had a fleeting craving yesterday and it passed quickly. It’s not too often I have them these days, but I don’t expect that they will ever go away completely.
