The plan that worked for me.
- Seening a doctor for a baseline health assessment
- Enrolling in intensive outpatient therapy
- Removing all alcohol from my house
- Not going to anywhere that alcohol was present
- Regular attendance at AA meetings
- Developing a network of sober friends
- Getting a sponsor
- Working the steps of AA
- Willingness to change anything in my life if it kept me from drinking
- Actively looking for things I enjoy doing sober
Staying sober for me was building a new life not trying to salvage the old
