I always said 12 step prayers to a little effect.my sponsor told me to say the prayers in conjunction with a demonstrative action.so now on awakening and b4 sleep i lie on the floor and say ALOUD 'without u life is unmanageable and with you everything is fine and life is perfectly managable
and then i say the 3rd step prayer that i give myself up to your care hashem to do as you wish with me etc. has really put my whole day in a different light!
I also found that saying the serenity prayer('pls give me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference') and reminding myself that only today i need to stay sober and not focusing on the long term. All the best to everyone!!!
