You might ask, what does that have to do with recovery. Not much, but it does have to do with getting the things you want in life, turning thinking into action. We had training about the importance of identifying our values and goals, and then creating objectives to meet those goals. You want to met people, you set objectives to do that. Scheduling events you can attend, classes, coffee shop visits, whatever. Plan it, carry it out.
Good luck.
Absolutely. I re-read Covey's 7 Habits at the end of my first year of sobriety and it was a profound and grounding exercise. I think his ideas have a lot to do with recovery and with identifying a deeper purpose in recovery.
