Playing the odds

The path to successful recovery is the biggest gamble in your life because the steaks are whether you live or what do you die. There are a lot of paths to sobriety but I choose the ones that have the highest probability of success.

I do the following: because I had seen these work for an awful lot of people and I've seen a lot of failure for people who didn't do these things. does this mean that these items are the only way? Absolutely not but again it's all about playing the odds of success.
  • I stay our of drinking situations
  • I have a dry house alcohol is not permitted to cross the door
  • I put nothing absolutely nothing ahead of my sobriety
  • I've been honest with those that I love and trust about my alcoholism
  • I work the program of Alcoholics Anonymous I have a sponsor I work the steps attend meetings regularly
  • I believe in a power greater than myself and that this power can save me from alcoholism
  • I live a day at a time and I am mindful of the Now
  • I try to help others wherever possible alcoholic or not
  • I have a large network of sober friends that I can call 24 hours a day should I be tempted to drink
  • I believe alcoholism is a chronic progressive fatal disease
  • recovery is a process that ends when you die

This formula seems to work for a lot of people so this is where I betting my money
