Hi I'm Tommo, and I'm an alcoholic. jkjk But really though, I was headed on that path and have chose today to stop drinking in order to lucid dream again!
I have been here for quite some time as you can see (around 8 years), but as a guess I'd say I have had less than 20 LD's that entire time.
I have been practicing intermittent awareness, have an alarm set on my phone every hour to do a reality check, as well randomly feeling like I'm dreaming (say if I walk to somewhere and suddenly think "how the hell did I get here?" coz I zoned out or whatever) and doing reality checks.
I fully question my reality every time, no half-assed RC's.
My recall is pretty good when I get to bed early-ish, and if I don't stay in bed too long in the morning.
I had previously reached a point where I was recalling too much to write down; almost everything from every dream over the night.
So I don't think recall will be a problem.
I just need to start questioning my reality in dreams.
I have come up with a new method for doing this, involving those semi-awake/semi-asleep dreams that happen in the morning.
For me they are short scenes.
It's much easier to practice awareness and reality questioning at that time because you are more conscious, and intermittently fully conscious.
I usually just laugh at my absurd dream scenes and funny things I come up with in them.
However I have been practicing noticing all the weird dream signs in those scenes.
My hope is that I will slowly start recognising dream signs and questioning reality earlier and earlier, at deeper levels of sleep.
