I know what you mean about making the most of the sunshine when we finally get some in the UK!!

The plan is as much for daily situations - any time you might usually have a drink or come across a trigger. Eg. walking past / going in the shop where you'd usually buy your beer - will you take a different route or go in a different shop perhaps; that half hour when you come in tired and relax with a drink - what will you do instead to chill?; if you go somewhere that you are offered a drink and usually accept - what will you say? Some people include exercise and socialising in new ways on their plans. (Eg I find Friday evenings much better since I found a good AA meeting to go which is pretty sociable - it means I still feel like I'm going out and doing something instead of staying in an throwing myself a weekly pity-party) . It's often the run of the mill routines that are hardest to watch for as they're so ingrained we don't even notice them.

If you look up sobriety plan on here it'll come up with a lot of hits I'd have thought.
