Long Term Recovery

Do you know the number one key to maintaining long term recovery (abstinence) from addiction? Aside, of course, from not doing whatever you are recovering from doing, the key to staying abstinent and in recovery is to KEEP COMING BACK. This phrase certainly can mean to regularly attend and participate in Twelve Step meetings, but also can mean to continue any ongoing method of reminding yourself that time does not cure addiction and that provides you support, including, hopefully, the opportunity to share and receive feedback, and access spiritual strength.
