Getting my life admin in order

IDs, insurance, appointments, court dates, taxes — list what needs handling and take the next three steps.

Why this helps

Missing documents and unfinished paperwork are a common source of stress in early recovery, and they block jobs, housing and benefits. Breaking the pile into next steps — with help from a case manager, your recovery home or 211 — makes it manageable.

Don't write ID numbers, Social Security numbers or account numbers here.

1. Documents I need to get or replace

Check any that apply

  • State ID or driver's license
  • Social Security card
  • Birth certificate
  • Health insurance card
  • Proof of address
  • Car registration or insurance
  • Professional license
  • Diplomas or transcripts

2. Other things that need handling

Check any that apply

  • Court dates or probation requirements
  • Fines or getting my license reinstated
  • Taxes I haven't filed
  • Applications for food, health or disability benefits
  • Doctor, dental or eye appointments
  • Child support or custody paperwork
  • Old phone, utility or medical bills
  • Mail I've been avoiding

3. Anything with a deadline — and the date

4. My next three steps

5. Who can help (case manager, recovery home staff, legal aid, 211, a friend)

6. How I'll celebrate getting them done
