Hi melski, I'm with you on that for sure. Mid-week work stress always starts to bog me down too. I can't believe how many times during the day I hear that voice inside. It comes at me in the middle of a meeting or during a phone call or just doing paperwork!
When I chose my name I chose it because little daytrips bring me joy, so whenever I find myself stressing out I take a little 5-minute Google break and search out my next little adventure. Even just a quick search reminds me that I can't do anything if I am drunk or hungover or detoxing. Helps me hold on until my next day off.
Also, I have been going to meetings every night. I'm very new so I am trying to get around to all the different meetings in the City until I find one that seems to be the best fit. It may be just a distraction for now or it may be something I pursue for the long haul - too early to say. So far I am pleasantly surprised.
And keep coming here!!
