Self knowledge won't keep me sober. It's got to come from a power other than me. I have found that power in AA. All of the tools it offers - a sponsor, a fellowship, many different readings, a higher power, the pursuit of getting rid of self centeredness and ego, being helpful to others, sponsoring people, etc....
Left on my own - I drink. The person that I used to be WILL ALWAYS DRINK.
I had to change. I had to fundamentally change how I reacted to life. I found it in AA.
The coolest thing about my sobriety - I forget to think about not drinking. When I ever I used to "quit". It was always on my mind - now, very often a weekend will pass and the thought of drinking doesn't even enter my mind.
Pretty cool if you ask me.
