I think the "miraculous plan" everyone talks about is the one that worked for them.
You too have a "miraculous plan" . You just need to figure out what that is.

Mine is rather simple. I think.
I actually didn't sit down and say "I am making a plan to stay sober".
I just knew I did not want to drink and knew there were things I would have to do and change to accomplish this.

1. Do not drink under any circumstance
2. I looked for help. Found SR and it has been a life saver
3. Do not drink under any circumstance
4. listen to my body. If Im hungry I eat. If I'm thirsty I drink. If I'm tired I rest.
5. Do not drink under any circumstance
6. Work on my self. Mentally and physically. Actually process my thoughts instead of just being pissed off or sad or indifferent
7. Do not drink under any circumstance
8. Find things to do with all my extra time
9. Do not drink under any circumstance
10. Express gratitude daily. Some days it may be 10 things some days 2 but everyday we have something to be grateful for and it isn't alcohol
11. Do not drink under any circumstance

There may be other things I am doing and do not realize idk.
I may add things later idk

I am very early in sobriety so who knows if this will work in the long run I just wanted to throw this out there.
I dont know if everyone needs a 1,000 point plan. I think it is very important that they REALLY want to quit and realize there are things they will need to do differently to accomplish that.
