I admire your enthusiasm, but try to keep it reasonably focused. A majority of folks who have substance abuse problems never stay sober continuously (I didn't). They may get clean/sober for periods of time, but a majority don't make it uninterrupted. Others simply die miserable deaths...I don't mean to sound grusome, but that's the way it is; suicide, liver disease, overdose, auto accidents, violence...etc. claim many. As UpDownAround suggests many of the skills of a regular therapist would be helpful - including creating a safe, personal space
I agree with splitimage's contention that introducing alternatives besides AA makes sense, too. While AA worked for me, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.
If you don't mind my asking, how did you get & stay sober? Also, how long have you been sober?
