Driguy. I agree being accountable to self is very important to attaining sobriety. When I got sober for 1993-2003 my thoughts daily, especially early on, were that nothing was more important than my sobriety. When that ceased to be the priority I was destined to start drinking again and did until 10/2/22 this year. I am getting that mindset again that nothing is more important than my sobriety. That mindset makes me accountable and focused on being and doing the best I can daily. I will admit it is a struggle and I know there are going to be many situations that arise in the coming weeks that will test this as alcohol was always associated with me in all interactions with others. Especially at the holidays. I know I can do it from experience but the AV is a strong adversary. I will and need to prevail against that part of myself that is/was committing suicide slowly by drinking.
