Hello Lora, welcome to the app. I use this with other tools that keep me sober one day at a time.
If you drank like I did (I didn't do dry good, weed twice) and had enough pain to find a better way of life, i took the suggestions that were freely given to me that have given me long-term continuous sobriety, just for today. They would be:
Go to in person meetings
Ask for help
Get a sponsor
Read the Book
Work the Steps with a Sponsor
Pray
Meditate
Be of service
Help someone else
These, and a few others are simple things. I tried to make them complex and came up with several excused as to why I couldn't do them. Then I saw what people that worked the steps had. I want what they have, and that includes someone close by that I can talk to, bounce things off of. And be accountable towards.
If you want a design of living that is happy, joyous and free, I hope you take the courageous leap and try something new. Gi e it an earnest effort. If it doesn't work you can easily go back to your old way of life, as if it was just yesterday.
