Just being alive and conscious entails some degree of effort, and that's true for absolutely everyone including non-drinkers. "Keep fighting the good fight", as the saying goes. Sober for almost 6 years now, I'm perfectly happy to say I still fight every day to do the right thing, even when it's difficult. It's a doable thing I've found, meeting my basic duties and obligations, and there's a lot of help out there along the way if you know where to find it, like here on SR for instance!
