Early sobriety requires simple self-care and presence rather than goal-setting and optimization plans that can undermine recovery.
When I first got sober, I learned you can't do it alone. I was reminded of this with every recovery meeting I attended, with every conversation I had with a sober friend, and with all the check-ins with my sober online communities. Also with therapists. With a supportive husband. With God. And another soul was well-invested in me during those early days of recovery. It was my cat, Steve.
