If you stop doing the things that keep you in the program, you will go back to doing the things that brought you to the program. ~The Pocket Sponsor

“We do recover, but we are never cured,” is often heard in our fellowship. Even those who have only attended a couple of meetings realize that it is not a secret that we must continuously work a program of recovery. That is why after Steps One through Three, collectively called the surrender Steps, and Steps Four through Nine, also known as the action Steps, that we find the wondrous maintenance Steps Ten through Twelve. It is in doing our Tenth Step with eternal vigilance that ensures us that we continue to do the work of the action Steps. Step Eleven keeps our direction in alignment with our Higher Power, and Step Twelve is where we share what we have learned in the other eleven Steps. Eternal vigilance carries a small price tag compared to the price we paid when using. We know, only all too well, that being clean and sober won’t keep us clean and sober.

I keep doing what keeps me here.

Just because I've been clean and sober for a while, I can't expect that, in order to live happily ever after, it is enough to simply stop doing what I did before I came into the program.
