I feel bad about drinking yesterday too. I knew it was going to happen. I once again was trying too hard and starting to feel stressed.
I have a quote on my computer about carving out a block of time for myself and when I need to, just cancel whatever I am doing. I have to remember to do this for myself because it is always the stress that leads me back to drinking.
You see, part of my biggest problem is that I am OVERLY responsible. I always end up trying to do more than what I should some days and I have got to learn to take time for myself. This is a hard concept for me as I am truly a codependent.
And is drinking being responsible? No, so how stupid. Any advice on how to care about yourself and not feel guilty about not getting things done for others would be greatly appreciated.
