Hi healwithme, I believe you can make a situation as simple or as complex as you wish. I used to help people train for bodybuilding competitions and some of them would come to me with these huge elaborate plans. At the time I was trying to earn my card to become professional (IFBB pro card). I was very blunt with them and usually axed 50% of their plan right off the bat.
My point is that you can approach sobriety using a litany of methods to help you or it can be as simple as "don't drink alcohol". I know that sounds flippant, but its absolutely true. Strictly speaking for myself, nutrition and sleep are numbers 1 and 2 on my list of being sober. When I speak of nutrition, I'm not necessarily referring to any exotic diet, I just mean balanced meals on a regular basis to keep you glycogen/glucose levels stable, proteins for recovery and repair and some good fats as they are necessary in a balanced diet. The sleep part is pretty self explanatory. Keep us posted on your progress.
