***There is only one a week here, as soon as Tuesday night, 10:00pm arrives, consider it done
I make plans for drinking situations I can't avoid - In 5 years of sobriety there has never been a situation that I could not avoid. There has been some I choose to attend but none I had to go to.
***fair play. That said, I could choose not to go to a business lunch, but choose to instead for financial motivations.

The alcoholic views themselves through the eyes of their intentions the world views them through the eyes of their action's.

I believe you are serious about your recovery but it what we do that makes a difference not what we plan to do. I always view my actions through this filter. Is this action or inaction moving me toward sobriety or away.

Thanks for your post. You are right, I've done a lot of talking and not much action. That said, I did feel the need to clarify a few issues as noted above.
