Hi undies, I haven’t been on this thread for years.
Toots,
the mask rules in California vary by county but they are pretty similar to where you are it sounds like. In March I kept working as an “essential worker” and keep in mind I was not sober to start with, but I was maintaining at work before covid. So as an alcoholic that was barely maintaining, I quickly lost all control and all the new stresses from work because of covid became my new reason to drink.
Anyway, things ended badly of course, but they led me back to sobriety. Now I’m learning how to deal with stress and all the emotions in healthy ways. 21 days and grateful to be here. I’ve been enjoying reading all of your posts
