Quit drinking become a hermit?
I used to deal with all the stress and "everything' else in my life with drinking. Feel bad, drink, Feel good, drink. Bored, drink. Drink, drink, drink,....
Now that I stopped the madness. I find my defences to life craziness and the people in it are weak.
The only thing I can change is me. The only thing I can control is me.
I feel pretty good working my program and looking deep within myself. The problem is the world is out there. Not all in here. I'm going to retreat a bit from the craziness or a least limit it as much as I can. Problem is in one respect I can't. I'm a technical consultant. The demands on me to be "on" and available are high.
What to do. Fin an oasis....?
