As I replied on your other thread- and maybe just to reiterate- I don't think we are alluding to anything, and we are only secondarily commenting on your health and fitness. A plan for sobriety is what I mean when I say plan or program. Journalling, all that you mention, is great- on top of and as additional tools as to the core that gets and keeps you sober. Mine is AA- I kicked and screamed and fought against it for a very long time- till I gave in to it and my life has changed entirely and absolutely.
I hope you start making the choices that get and keep you sober- you don't have to worry about bad food/drink combos, stood up dates, etc- and you can live a life where you know how to make the better choices, more quickly and more often, with time in sobriety and an arsenal of weapons (since you like fighting analogies). Hope to see you on the sober side with us.
