Just sharing my experience - I think I needed to get to a place of comfort with recovery.
I built a life geared to drinking, now I needed to build a life that reflected my desire to stay sober.
Things like coming here everyday help me not get too complacent.
It also stops me from thinking my recovery is so good I'm no longer an addict and I can drink normally now - I've seen that one around more than once.
As long as I stay grounded the madness can't get me.
