One heck of a week!!!!

My stress level was high last week....I did something I knew I shouldn't have...it overwhelmed me.....I pushed myself...happy to say I didn't drink..didn't think of it....but I just don't like being in that "space" because who knows.... so that was a HUGE lesson for me.....I have to learn to say no...not to think of the money...but think of ME........life is never dull!!!

Happy Monday friends... xo

Whatever it was, glad you didn't resort to drinking as the solution. Continued success.

I'm a stress monster (going to grad school, interning, counseling clients, and working a third part-time job), and I did let school become my Higher Power there for several months, during which I relapsed and did some "controlled" drinking and was utterly miserable. I'm back on track now--10 days in--and already my self-esteem and self-concept have improved.

I am so glad you didn't drink, That is HUGE, because drinking is how we cope with stress--it's the default button. Congratulate yourself and continue to take good care of yourself. You are an inspiration.
