To Achive long term sobriety:

These the three things will help you,

Passionate living - you have to be excited about living life sober or you will return to drinking some day.

Purpose - you need purpose in order to stay focused. For many, this will center on helping other recovering alcoholics in some way.

Creation - you need to actively create this new life for yourself in order to keep moving forward. Continuous growth is the key to overcoming complacency.
