My sobriety is rooted in A.A., so my relapse prevention checklist includes the following.

1. Prayer & meditation: Am I getting on my knees in the morning and asking God to keep me sober? Am I getting on my knees in the evening and thanking Him for keeping me sober? Do I meditate?

2. Meetings: Am I attending A.A. meetings regularly? (My goal is 4 meetings per week.) Do I have a home group? Do I have a service position?

3. Service: Do I have any sponsees in Steps 1-3? If not, what am I doing to get some? (Remember, attraction is our public relations policy -- not a recipe for working with others. Our founders made clear that we are to actively seek out newcomers to work with.)

4. Stepwork: Since I have completed Steps 1-9, am I following the instructions for Steps 10-12 set forth on pages 84-89 of the Big Book? Is it time to have a new experience with Steps 1-9? (Compare the 12x12 at p. 89, which references "annual or semiannual housecleanings".) Do I have a sponsor? Do I use my sponsor?

Hope that helps.
