I have the bulk of the week with my daughters because i have establish that I am the primary caregiver,I have demonstrated that i have the more flexible schedule and I take them to school, picked them up, set up extra curricular activities, etc. I have documented this for my L.

I am renting a suitable home that can accommodate us comfortably within 2-3 blocks of our marital home and I can show that I am a big part of their lives.

I am working on me in every way physical, mental, spiritual and my life is balanced. I am pure of any and all substances which has given me clarity of mind and body and spirit, I am clear and grounded.

I am proud to be alcohol free for the last 6 days, I am taking it one day at a time. I have an AA sponsor and I attend meetings.

I talk to a counselier every week to talk about anger management, alcohol abuse. Of concern to me is how I have acted inappropriately. I accept my responsibility is to fix myself and I am present for my kids during this tough time by meeting my obligations offering hugs and support every day.

I am focused being ready for mediation and communicating in a positive way even though there are challenges, I understand the process and cooperate with the process as advised by the mediator. I communicate well and without expectation.

A key focus is the good in my life which i diarise and note every day. I am a great role model for my kids by holding firm, staying sober and folowing a strong daily routine.

My major goal is to be with my children and I take my time formulating a plan that will allow this. I keep my plan privately to myself and my advisors.

How does that seem as a suggestion for an action plan you can build on?
