Moving for work (anxiety)
So.
I have received an offer for a new job at a better company (more socially responsible, more aligned with my interests, etc), but I'll have to sell my home and move my family across the country for it.
Im very anxious about the move. I'm not interested in drinking, but I haven't fully developed coping skills for stress, and my first 'thought reaction' was to go buy a bottle of scotch (I know this is because this was my typical reaction to stress for YEARS, and even though I don't drink anymore, my mind still seems to reflexively suggest it as a solution).
I'm not getting tempted to drink, but I'd love to hear any tips for dealing with worrying about the future.
