your plan sounds just about what i did that first christmas 10 months sober.

today i'm good and happy and serene. i will be doing my usual '4th wednesday of the month' visit to the local rehab facility on christmas night, grateful to spend an hour to try and give back what was so freely given to me all those years ago.

hang in there sweetie
