Early recovery IMO is a mind body and soul effort. Alcohol is cunning baffling and powerful. If you let you gaurd down durring the week Alcohol will spot the weakness and take advantage.
I still do not under estimate my foe and work on a daily basis to maintain my sobriety because I never know when that moment of weakness will occur

You have twenty years of drinking to overcome. If you have to focus on recovery daily, to get better that's what you do. I don't think part-time recovery works.
It gets better. With two years sober, recovery is ingrained in my daily life to where I don't feel detracts from life.
Stay sober, you'll experience it too.

I have adopted a new way of life. The quality of that life is contingent on my staying recovered. A loss of sobriety would mean a loss of pretty much everything that matters to me. The actions I practice in this new way of life assure that I stay sober, but its not like I spend every waking hour thinking "i must do this to stay sober, then I will go do that so I stay sober. I need to avoid that so I stay sober etc." The actions I take as part of the new way of life allow me to live life the way I am meant to. I serve a purpose. I enjoy several hobbies. I have healthy relationships. I work hard. I play hard.
For me staying sober is a bi-product of living this new way of life. The way of living is a priority, something I have to remain focused on. Recovery comes along with it.
