Argh, yes! But then it is a difficult balance to find. I tend to over analyse things a lot but keeping a track on my thought processes is what's keeping me sober. I definitely put too much pressure on myself by thinking I should be further along than I am. But who knows where I should be? I'm learning to let go a bit now and not be too tough on myself but I still think I need to be really vigilant. It is amazing how easy and quick it is to revert back to old ways of thinking. That said, distraction is a totally viable option. Sometimes it hurts my brain to think about certain things too long, so it's best to watch some trashy tv and forget about it
