This is all too much "if this then this" or maybe it means this etc. this is the reason I quit AA. Way too complicated. I got to therapy and have sober friends and I get to make decisions for myself that are clear and make sense to me. I have a year of not drinking behind me. And my life today is good.

This has been my approach to sobriety for others for the past 18 years. I have to be abstained from every form, but I have seen others do a variety of different ways. I tell people in meetings all the time that AA doesn’t work for everyone, but something out there will if you really want to change. An open mind is a cornerstone for us all. Thank you for sharing.

Are we saying the only steps that are “measurable” in recovery are the 12 steps? And if you don’t work them then it isn’t a true relapse? Just curious about this as I didn’t watch the whole interview!

exactly. I went to my first meeting in April of 1978 and never gave myself to the program, going to meetings on and off for the next twelve years. I never relapsed because I was never sober. even if I was off alcohol and drugs for a week I was never sober. I went to my first meeting of sobriety on April 16, 1990. I gave myself to the program fully and 35 years later I have never relapsed. Not 47 years later.

Yeah, if you didn’t make a full attempt at a program of recovery, then the clean time was just a forced time out. Chances are you didn’t get past the planning stage of change.

Here's the thing-I would like to think maybe one day I can moderate, but for now why go down that path? I don't want to. I'm enjoying being sober. I like not blacking out. I like waking up without a hangover. I love that I am learning to stand up for myself and say "NO" to things and people who do not make me feel good about myself/who bring me down/are negative. I love being 100% present every second of every day in my 2 kids lives. And that's why I won't relapse (also is like a big FU to everyone who thinks I will-my sisters being the main ones who don't think I can stay sober, been sober since 7/5/2024).

Yeah going to a detox program and not using for a couple weeks then picking back up isn’t relapse, you never tried. I call that an “oil change”. Just go to detox to drop your tolerance then pick back up to feel that rush again… I have 873 days clean, if I decided to go use H again I would consider that a relapse

I tried to say I always relapsed. Now in true recovery I really just never stopped drinking. I just need to be honest. Now I’m in recovery!
