Day 10 for me. I took a vacation from Christmas until now with a plan to detox. Feeling great, but a little apprehensive about going back to work tomorrow. So much of the stress that I used as an excuse for drinking comes from my work situation. I'm trying to wrap my head around having a more hopeful attitude about life, but specifically about work. I've long been convinced that the situation there is hopeless - that nothing will change - and that anyone with ideas who sticks there neck out gets it chopped off. I'm kind of ready to risk getting it chopped off. If I'm really that miserable there, I should try to make a difference, and if those pulling the strings don't like it, I guess I'll have to figure out another way to make a living. I need the income, but my work isn't about making money. If I'm not happy there I need to be willing to do something else, even if it means a significant cut in pay.
