Hi Jimmy,

What has helped me the most in sobriety is building a life so much better than the one I had before that drinking is not even a consideration. I've tailored my own recovery program which is partly inspired by AA and the "meat" of it is as follows:

I've identified four pillars; physical, mental, financial, and spiritual. For each pillar I've set short term and long term goals and I'm always revisiting them to see if they need fine tuning.

Physical: being disciplined in my gym regimen, eating a sensible diet, limiting snacks and sugar

Mental: meditating every morning, identifying grievances and quarrels I may be having so they don't fester, practicing gratefulness

Financial: staying debt free and sticking to a budget, putting aside money from every paycheck for savings

Spiritual: this is deeply personal for anybody so I'll keep the particulars to myself

This isn't the exhaustive list of my program but it's the foundation that keeps me focused on my sobriety.
