I am the kind of person who needs goals and targets in order to achieve what I want to do. I am gonna list all the things I want to do now that I'm sober and tick them off as I go along.

It's a bit like "My Name Is Earl" lol

1) Contact my son and make up for the lost years
2) Read all the books I've bought and left on the shelves unread
3) Watch all the films I've bought and left on the shelves unwatched
4) Aim for a better job now that I know I can achieve more sober
5) Write the book I've always wanted to write
6) Re-decorate my home
7) Get rid of my "drinking friends" and get back in touch with my real friends
8) Never be selfish again
9) Do my Masters degree
10) Be there for others who are on the road to recovery.

Thanks everyone for giving me hope and support.

I hear you on getting rid of drinking friends! I did that a long time ago. Despite being a heavy drinker, I wanted the stability of being around moderate and non-drinkers. Now that I am sober, I am enjoying their company even more

4 and 9 sounds good for me.


Way to be positive! As a negative person, I'm having to learn how to be more optimistic. Thanks for the list. I need to write one...
