Hi, so I have been trying to come up with a plan to stay sober. You know do something different so I get different results. I'm doing good and feeling good today and I feel really positive about tomorrow. Friday I have family coming to visit for the weekend so I feel good about that. (I'm also on antabuse) I am planning to go to a church near me on Sunday and reach out to god. This church also has a 12 step group and I am going to talk to someone about it. The first meeting i know of is Tuesday and i plan to be there. Its a 2.5 hour meeting but i figure i need all the help i can get. Hopefully i get to know some people that can help me from there. I'm leaving it in gods hands. It's a start at least.

I know HE will help you if you ask him.
and this coming from someone who begged for his help but never seemed to get it at the time.
keep adding to that plan. the meetings are the most important

remember god helps those who help themselves - it will take a lot of proaction from you as well.

but with your own determination, your faith and the support of a strong community.... nothing can stop you.

all the best wishes

Sounds like a great plan! Best of luck to you.

I would highly suggest you read the first 164 pages of AA's Big Book. There is a wealth of knowledge about alcoholism and it's treatment. It is free at AA.org

Thank you for the comments. I definitely will read the big book.

Hi Lil.
Like your plan in, the main.
I think a variety of ploys is smart.
I have started an anti booze diary.
It keeps my mind focussed daily.

It's good to hear that someone is being proactive about seeking recovery. I found solace in the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I find a diary to be helpful as well.

Im trying to keep the one day at a time in mind and just make a plan for each day. I know meetings are really important, just trying to get there in a way thats comfortable for me.

I like the anti booze diary idea. Is it like writing down reasons why you shouldnt drink or why life is better without it? Maybe both?
