Abstinence
 
So, today I've hit Year 3 of full sobriety. After many years--and many failures--of trying to moderate, schedule my drinking, quit, etc, it finally clicked. I had to make a life changing decision.
In retrospect, I learned that the elusive pieces to a drunkard's puzzle are Abstinence, Commitment, and Effort. These are my pillars---along with tools, like AA and an alcoholism program, which really helped me.
So today, I'm all in on remaining sober. The benefits are huge.

That pretty much sums up the core of recovery. No matter what program you use, without those three, you're just throwing darts.
