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.

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

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! ;-)

It might be my military background, but I am a Plan Fan.

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
