i was toying with the idea of starting a breakfast book club in my area, maybe sunday mornings, in a cafe... not part of 'recovery' but just for the social life that's also not dependent on booze. could that be an idea you could use in your neighbourhood?
while other people drinking has nothing to do with my Big Plan, i just find it tedious to be around, and i also like the healthy feeling of having done something constructive early in the day.
my Big Plan exists in isolation from my circumstances, etc, but i also like to improve those circs when i can, which i think is a normal healthy desire unrelated to whether or not i was ever addicted.
