It’s one of those Sundays where I gotta work from home to get prepared for a coming week and I find that the feelings of stress and anxiety coming up feel a lot like it did when I was still drinking. Back then the anxiety was related to my choices, how they affected me, and my fears about how they might impact my work and relationships. I’m so glad I don’t have to go through that anymore! Work and life still have stress moments and they are the times that make me feel most grateful to be sober. They also feel dangerous, no longer coping with alcohol forces you to face your nerves and, while we get through it, it takes work. Doing the work makes it easier and easier to face life without alcohol. Wishing y’all luck and stick with it!
