How’s your sober tools this weekend? Weekenders

Welcome to Weekenders
How’s your sober tools lately?
Have you checked?
Why I ask is because I was curious when a dear SR friend said they had been sober 20 years and then turned to drink again.
They have since achieved many years sober again after finding help with SR.
When everything is fine it’s easy for me to say, but
If there was a major crisis in my life and the AV came calling......
Would I listen to it?
Would I give it head space?
Would I be tempted?
Would I fall down that slippery slope into the deep chasm again?
‘No, definitely not’ is my feeling right now at this present time.
I want and quite frankly I need this feeling to carry me through my life.
I know complacency can’t be in my makeup as I’m an alcoholic.
So I keep my sober tools ready for use, anywhere, anytime.
I visit SR every day as it is my most versatile tool I use. My other popular tool is ‘playing the tape forward’. I added another in the last year or so, Gratitude.
As I grow in sobriety I find I learn more too.
I learn never take for granted my sobriety.
