Thanks everyone!
I will check into the Flylady website
I agree that physical clutter is a reflection of emotional clutter. It's a good thing for me to be doing this now. First of all, I *have* to if we ever want to sell our house plus it keeps me busy. Last night when I normally would have been drinking I was down in the basement sorting through stuff. This morning, I've already taken a van load to Goodwill.
I know I am going to have to deal with bigger emotional issues at some point, but right now, I am taking it one day at a time and not drinking. And that is good enough for now.
Thanks again... This group is so supportive and I really appreciate all of you.
