GENERAL SELF-CARE
-- Improved eating habits (meatless Monday, leafy greens (salad!) 3X per week)
-- Exercise: at least 30 mins. 5X per week
-- Set weight-loss goals
-- Go to the doctor and dentist
-- One night TV-free each week

STAYING SOBER
-- Reading and posting at SR DAILY (social support)
-- Reading The Fix recovery website multiple times per week
-- Group counseling?
-- Buy two books for recovery library
-- Go to meeting with [sister] -- gets family involved in my sobriety plan!

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
-- Keep a clean apartment -- work out a daily/weekly cleaning schedule
-- Never get more than one load behind in laundry

SERVICE
-- Volunteering at soup kitchen

This is just as I wrote it several weeks ago. It needs to be fleshed out and actually finalized.

I thought if it might be a template or a starting place for others' recovery plans, we could all benefit.

I'm inviting any and all suggestions for specific ideas or larger areas I've overlooked here -- fire away for my benefit and for everyone else's, please. Don't hold back!
