Mountainmans very basic blueprint

#1 - keeping God first (not as easy as it sounds)

#2 - prayer
#3 - church and daily bible reading (bible in a year)
#4 - exercise - bicycle riding and hiking
#5 - this site - sober recovery.com
#6 - AA meetings
#7 - spending time in the Jacuzzi in the middle of the night talking with God - stars all around
#8 - occasional reading of the AA Big Book (worked the Steps a couple of times)


#9 - lending a helping hand to someone less fortunate
(should be in the #1 spot) but to be honest it isn't

For me, making lists is a guarantee that I won't complete anything on my lists.

The longer I'm around (and I've been around for a bit), the more I find that we are remarkably similar. The blueprint I used to recover was the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's worked for a few million people, in spite of our differences.

for me...a newbie, I'd say

an hour of physical activity (to get endorphins going and sense of accomplishment)

connection with other people: some get this from AA, but empowering connection with others is really important for me.

I'm listening to self hypnosis/affirmations at night or as needed like Belleruth Naparstek

I'm curious if OP or anyone else tried out the app? If so, what do you think? I wish they had it for droid. I think it would be more useful on my phone AND tablet.
