I used to drink when stressed which was the same a shutting down. I realized today that telling to keep going is exactly what I need. I am so grateful for not turning to alcohol. The only thing I can do to relieve the stress is to keep on working, plugging along and getting as much done as possible. Its the work load that is causing me stress. I am reading more at night to calm my brain and today I just took a meditation break which helped.

We are leaving for our winter get a way in a couple weeks! I have so much to do before then, but I am so looking forward to just getting away, we need a break. We are going to mexico for the holidays. I've been a few times before, and this will be the first time sober and I cannot wait to experience Mexico with no raging hangover!
