Making a plan
 
I just dug out my arsenal of self help books that I had buried away last year when I thought I was "cured". I have: How to quit drinking without aa, eating for recovery, the essential nutrition plan to reverse the physical damage of alcoholism, The cure for alcoholism, A mother's daily prayer book, and The vitamin cure for alcoholism.

I also recently ordered Under the Influence, and the Smart recovery handbook. So I got those out of my bedside table.

I am going to do some serious reading. I am also going to try to go to an AA meeting tomorrow or Tuesday, and am going to try to reschedule my therapy appt. for this week (which I canceled last week after a week of not drinking, cause I thought I was fine). I am also going to get to the doctor to get some blood work done that my therapists nurse requested in case I decide to try any meds to help.

That's my plan for now.

Sounds like a good plan! Keep up the good work.

I'm glad you're taking an active role in getting your recover back on track, PinotNoMore! You can do it.:ring

Just one slight alteration of the plan would seem to be in order. I think Yoda said it best. Here is a 30 second clip of it. Do. Or do not. There is no try. - YouTube

Lol yes, I caught the "trys" in there after I posted! Good catch! They are in there for the possibility I won't be able to find a sitter, and if my therapist is already booked. :) how about this: I will be going to an aa meeting either Monday or Tuesday and I will be rescheduling with my therapist even if she can't get me in this week! ;-)

Make the plan, work the plan!


Best of luck on your journey!

Pinot great to see the go get it attitude

I hope the main plan about alcohol use is that there won't be any, and all the other things will be tools to help with that. :)

if you don't have one already
you may wish to pick up a AA Big Book while at the meeting
there is some good stuff in there for the alcoholic who wishes to get sober
