43 Weeks

I am at 43 weeks sober now.

Had a counseling session this past Friday. My counselor is very happy with my progress/plan and thinks we can space out our sessions a little more. I am fine with that as I know all parts of my plan will need to evolve as not to become complacent. For example I have switched from mostly running to now a combination of jogging and circuit weight training to change up my exercise part of my plan.

Having a plan in place is crucial to recovery in my opinion - but being able to change and evolve your plan is just as important to make sure we stay on the recovery path.

Keep to your plans - we can do this!

Congrats on 43 weeks IP - is your plan mostly physical things or do you address not drinking as well?

Most importantly not drinking as well Dee. I have learned several coping skills to use in most situations. I have changed up my daily routine around normal drinking times as well. Avoiding trigger places and events.

I have not done AA but instead have gone to a recovery counselor which I treat like a coach to help keep me accountable.
