The plan

I'm not going to drink any alcohol today.
I have the same plan for tonight.

That's my whole recovery... the whole dang plan.

The nutty thing is that it works!

I used to laugh at the "one day at a time" bumper stickers, and now I live by it.

James...I am going to LIVE! I spent so much of my time forgetting reality that now I'm devouring it!
I play a guitar. I play disc golf. I spend time with my family...
And I remember it all!!

I can now go to a restaurant, sit down, and immediately put the alcohol menu face down without even thinking about it. Overcoming the desire feels good.

Same. I went out to dinner with my wife yesterday. She gently touched my cheek and said "you're back". The last few years had been a haze

But can you play guitar while playing disc golf? :golf:

Remember how we used to double up our drugs with booze or other drugs. Hilarious I wonder if it works with living.

Like will I enjoy my life more if I stack my leisure activities and sober service work?

That simple if we allowbot to be. Takes work, sure. What worth having doesn't?
