Having a sponsor and working the Steps are good; but, for me an accountability circle seems to work the best. I need people who are like me, who I can check in with hourly, daily, and weekly to keep current in my recovery. This helps me through the highs and lows of life.

Some people in SA, myself included, try to adjust the program to our needs. The “easier softer way” is to just work it just the way it is. What works is constant vigilance and surrender of the temptation on a daily basis. Am I willing to surrender my lust today, praying for the willingness, and trying to stay connected with people in the program and out of myself?
