Priority

 When you are making plans for the day I think it is important to have a priority list.  What is the most important thing to do today?  Your other plans might get messed up by situations beyond your control.  Stuff happens.  But you don't want to be the reason your day turned out to be a mess, disaster, chaotic.  For someone in recovery, sobriety is the first thing on your list.  Everything else and everybody else has a better chance of working out if you are sober.  And then what if there arises and emergency, not planned?  You cannot manage such things if you are not sober and sane.  Left to your own devices, well lets not go there!
