Stress and work was my biggest challenge when I got Sober, because the deadlines still existed, the stressful days would still come.
But we have to create new tools to deal with life, rather than the quick fix of alcohol, otherwise Sobriety will never happen, I would go for a while without drinking, have a bad day, drink again and end up on a month long binge, and the cycle repeated for a long time!!
You can do this!!
