The Game Plan

I have had a very busy few days. A lot of work and a few meetings. I also had the opportunity to talk to a guy who stopped drinking a few years ago after being begged by his family to get help. From this lovely conversation I went into a research mode about alcohol, alcohol withdrawal , fallback, and working plans to get it all under control long term. And really it comes down to honest criticism, addressing a problem and having a plan for what's coming.

Here is the main outline. 1) Get yourself healthy and happy. 2) Get Somebody you trust on your team for support. 3) Get a new hobby. 4) Get Real Treatment. 5) Find a healthy way to manage stress.

So basically I am going to spend some time and get specific with my methodology. My niece wants to learn guitar and piano. I want to exercise and 'prep' so i feel a lean in those directions.

Also I have been researching the SuperBrain concept of Deepak Chopra. Which talks about creating new pathways in your brain by learning new things and switching the routine things we do around. So I will take it as a challenge and pleasure to come up with a fun and effective way to live a happy lifestyle.

Now to the meat. I haven't been drinking since the last post. Now that I have seen some options I wish I was doing the 'no drinking at all 4 days a week with wiggle room on the weekends.' but, For now until the end of the year just going with complete sobriety.

Details will be forthcoming as to the self-therapy.
