.

Of all the top plans I read, which are all very good.

I rarely read, “I’ll Give back at a meeting”.

One if the most important tools of sobriety is COMMUNITY.

The Journey you are in is a life long one.
Don’t do it alone. You can’t.

I know i didn’t do it alone.

Go for a walk on the beach
Eat good health meals
Drink water
Snuggle with my puppies
Watch a sunset
Get my head to my pillow sober

I currently have a 2 stage plan:

  • Defensive- a series of protocols and reminders to prevent or minimize relapse.
  • Long term infrastructure- engaging in addiction communities and using therapy and AI to understand and manage psycological issues and impulses that cause obsessive and repetative behaviour/disorder. Getting to the heart of the issue to build the personal habitual infrastructure needed to tackle PMO addiction for good.

Protocols and reminders:

  • Break Glass- a set of instructions on what to do in the event of a crisis.
  • Golden Rules- sets out non negotiable rules and conduct so I remain on the path to recovery and can’t sneak around the system. Any infraction is penalised with a streak reset.
  • Reasons- thoughts that a wrote down just after my most recent relapse. I find that the more I am in a streak the more I forget about why I’m doing it. Reading this puts me right back in the moment of relapse and jump starts my brain to continue sobrierty.

I admit that it is unproven in the field long term and real world results may be unsuccessful. However, I believe this has the best chance of success compared to any other plan I have available to me so far.
