I hear you about perfectionism, I am the queen of it, but what is the "perfect" way to become sober. You are putting a lot of pressure on yourself with what you "should" be doing. I decided I would get fit and healthy at the same time when I first decided to get sober. I put so much pressure on myself to succeed that guess what, I didn't - no surprise there. Why not just simplify it all and just concentrate on not picking up that drink? I think I was just trying to follow a model of how I thought I was meant to quit drinking. It's not one size fits all, you need to find what is right for you. Best wishes x
