I think a recovery plan is a pretty personal thing. Sure, most of it we probably all have in common, but not always.

To use me as an example, I don't crave the alcohol. I don't want to drink just for the hell of it. Every relapse I've had was because it was a Fri or Sat night and I was lonely, not having been in a relationship since my divorce. So the majority of my recovery plan is to find places or activities that surround me with people. Doesn't even matter if I'm talking to them. Just being at the gym, not just working out which will make me feel better, but not being isolated in my house is what is important for me.

Hobbies, exercise, support groups, etc.....we all share those as part of a recovery plan, but take a good hard look at yourself and tailor it to your needs. If you don't have one, a therapist or counselor can help you get there.
