What is your definition of "to any length"?

I’ve not taken trips - my moms brother passed away and I felt I “should” have taken her to Montana for the funeral but I told her I couldn’t - the extended family are heavy drinkers and there are many triggers for me - I change my route to Not drive by liquor stores - that neon “open” sign is a beacon - I do not go to sports bars or bars - I do not attend concerts - I do not attend events where liquor is served, period! Liquor of any kind is not in the house, including cough medicine and mouthwash - I have had to let go of people who continue to drink or drug - I have had to let go of people who do not encourage or support my sobriety or bring positivity into my life - I WILL NOT put myself at risk and if that’s an inconvenience to me or someone else, so be it - no sacrifice is too great - I will die if I drink

I was told if I went to any length to get a drink and get drunk I should consider going to any length to get sober.
A bit of a drunk-a-log. I lived in northern Illinois and needed beer to survive. In the middle of the cold I went to a liquor store to get a case of beer. In the frigid cold, snow and ice i get my case. I walk out of the liquor store, loose my footing and slip. I didn't think I had a problem, looking back I di9. I still have a problem it's managed.
My sponsor asked me what is the length I would go to to get sober. My response was "any." The work started, 90 meetings in 90 days, a daily phone call, reading, the Book, being of service, praying upon awakening and before bed, and a few other things.
If I was willing to go to the length of almost breaking my neck to get booze i could do uninsane)not a word) things to get sober.
