I think Mags is right that life changing planning is not the way to go in year 1! Certainly not for me anyway. I love the idea of an evening walk, toots, and in fact I’ve been doing that. That’s one of the best things about having stopped in summer but I hope to keep it up in the autumn too. I’ve also rekindled my attempts at learning a second language which has been a good way to spend some of my ‘extra’ time although slow progress isn’t the word. Mostly I’m finding it interesting to note the changes that have ensued/are ensuing, both good and not so easy and I’m beginning to accept it’ll be a while before I’m able to believe that I have arrived finally at the new sober me, so to speak. It’s really helpful and interesting to hear people’s reflections, especially those who are much further down the path to planned, long-lasting sobriety. (I nearly said abstinence there but of course as Dee points out that’s not quite the same thing).
