Action Plan by Susan P.
Action Plan by Susan P.

I want to let you know how much the action plan Tool means to me. I tried OA fifteen years ago but just wasn’t ready. When I came back to the program, I read about the action plan in my Newcomer Packet. I started using it the very next day. Since then, I’ve been abstinent with only two breaks (early on and fortunately short). Now I am blessed with more than nine months of continuous abstinence.

Every morning I write my action plan on a whiteboard. I take a photo with my phone’s camera and text it to my food buddy. It really helps keep me accountable through the day. It’s also teaching me flexibility, because if something happens that requires a change, I text it to my buddy.
