What's your Sobriety Plan?

What's your Sobriety Plan?

My plan is:

To attend rehab for the intense psychotherapy..
To NEVER have AL in the house..
To remind myself of all the things I have lost/nearly lost as a result of AL..
To eat well and drink lots of water/tea/soft drinks..
To avoid social situations that could potentially involve AL..
To call a friend/or mental health line if feeling stressed/depressed rather than pick up a bottle..

These are the main components of my plan to stay sober..

What's your Sobriety Plan?

The start of my plan...

To meditate every morning and every night (even if i still spend so much of it daydreaming and drifting)
To start my day with a really good breakfast
To keep away from negative people where possible
To walk on the beach and listen to the water, as it soothes me
To keep coming back here to mwo for support and to remind myself there are many others in this boat
To listen to myself and to avoid negative thinking
To think positively and enjoy life!

:welcome: neart. I love the part about staying away from negative people and negative thinking. (I love the other parts too but that one stood out for me - it's really important to my sobriety as well)

What's your Sobriety Plan?

Thanks DG! Yep, that is really important to me - I just find that it can be draining to be around people who are very negative - it makes me agitated. I read Louise L Hay's book - The Power is Within You - a few months back and it really helped me focus on positive thinking. A story I read a while back also helped me - I hope people don't mind me putting it up here:

A Cherokee Legend
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Hi catbails. Can you share your plan with us? Talk about where things went wrong? Maybe we can offer suggestions to help you modify your plan? If it's not working, then the best things to do (IMO) is change it and keep trying.
