Some of the best advice I ever received was: ‘Don’t try harder. Try different.’ If something’s not getting you sober or keeping you sober, try something else. Just as you would try a different therapist, or a different exercise regime, if your current one wasn’t giving you results. If you stop doing something and you drink, whoa, hotfoot right back to doing what you were doing before. If you stop doing something and you don’t drink, you’re fine.
