How will I accomplish this? Short term. I have orientation tonight for a 21 day challenge for an exercise boot camp type thing. I'm going to use this 21 days to make a ton of lifestyle changes. No drinking is my main goal on top of the daily exercise.

I have joined a weekly sport to occupy my mind and some time. I'm actively visiting churches so I can get back involved in one. I'm planning an outing at a museum with a friend and a long lost cousin will be coming to spend the day one day.

These are all short term, but ultimately this is how I want my life to be. Eating healthy, exercising, outdoor activities, hanging out with friends and family. A "normal" life.

The only thing about my life right now that I'm not happy about is the drinking.

That is my update. In 21 days I hope I've lost some weight and feel awesome.
I think your plan sounds AMAZING !! Exercise definitely helps me stay sober!! And I agree with ElleDee - AA isn't for everyone....do what's right for you!! Good luck at the orientation!!
