Keep at it, Tnt.

Sobriety and recovery are worth every single effort you put into it!

often check - it is too easy to be complacent with this stuff. As if being sober for me was normal, so I can just cruise. Nope.

You can get sober without a plan. It's nearly impossible to stay sober without one.

Make a plan

It may take a little time and some deep thought, but it's really not that difficult

Here are some helpful links and ideas

How true this is... All it takes is 1 drink to be back on the roller-coaster, I wish I hadve listened and made a plan as you can only sustain no plan for so long, I was side swiped last week and haven't gotten off yet..

I think a plan is good under any circumstance.

But this is the Master Plan. Without it all else fails.

You can "plan plans", but not results.

Keep refining the plan.

Thanks for the plans. Anything that helps our sobriety is appreciated as we are not only dealing with the quality of our lives but also in some cases our survival.

Thanks Dee. I first thought this was a new thread and started reading. After not recognizing any names I looked at the post dates 😄. Always great information!
