hi Dee,
My plan is as simple as DO NOT DRINK no matter what and actually COMMITTING 100% to never drinking again. My plan is useless without commitment. I need to hold myself accountable to myself at all times.
I will need to utilise outside supports such as reaching out here if my AV is winning and increase those supports if i relapse by going to an addiction counsellor, and if that fails going into some sort of program like rehab.
Routine, water, healthy eating, mindfulness, self help resources, nature, gratitude, purpose and enjoyable hobbies are already part of my everyday life and now that the final missing piece of the puzzle has clicked i expect my life will improve quite a bit overtime.
getting out of a toxic relationship in i was in danger of losing my life was the first best step. I am feeling really positive today about building a peaceful life for myself.
