Welcome back JustMe. For me, accountability started with making a daily committment to some kind of plan for living sober, vs just "not drinking". Certainly the decision to drink in the first place is a choice we can all make, but it also helps to have a consistent plan around doing that. Some have very involved meeting based plans, others make someting of their own. Some even use the SR community as their primary support group. You will find many who have gotten and stayed sober by all of those methods here, and you can learn a lot from them.
