A Plan can involve many things. Could be AA, or Smart, or the many other sobriety programs. Could be counseling. Could be checking in here several times a day.
My initial plan was counseling with an addiction counselor and daily visits to SR. I no longer see the counselor but still come here every day to give and receive support.
A plan could also involve not putting yourself in harm's way, ie, avoiding places/people/things that have alcohol as the main reason for being there.
A good part of any sobriety plan is to practice gratitude every day.

I only come here, but have in the past done all of the other stuff.
Self counselling now. Aaarrrggghhh!
Haven't been to an AA meeting in years, but thought I might go to one, not to speak, but to listen. See if the banners are still in gothic font. Has anything changed? How many young people? I think it must have changed somewhat. Society has changed. It might be interesting.
Read recenty that people have better outcomes if have access to peer support. It's been really great to be able come here.
Planning for a bran new world.
There is no other plan than to remain sober.

An even better plan will focus on not drinking - and what it might take for you to be happy about that
I had many many reasons and excuses for drinking. Unless I dealt with all those...unless I built a sober life I loved - I was likely to go back to drinking.

Stick with it and you'll see the rewards of sobriety. 
One benefit of sobriety is waking up feeling good. That never gets old.
