Hi, Nons,
Maybe it'll help to get kind of all philosophical on you.
It may well not be helpful to attempt any of these methods if you're already operating from a place of doubt.
How about this:
Believe in sobriety.
For a long time, it worked for you. I don't know you, have never met you and never will. But I know enough about us to know that there's a hell of a lot of gold in the adage "live in the solution." It keeps us in safe harbors.
At some point, you stopped living in the solution because there was something in it for you to go back into the wilderness. What was that something? Nothing good, that much we all know. You'll need to dig deeper to find out the rest, why you hit the self-destruct button. To find out why you stopped believing in sobriety. Start believing again.
