Paid some bill and feel relieved
I woke up with massive anxiety today. As I stated in another thread, I have bills piling up and was just avoiding them. Today I decided to stop being a baby and open some. Biggest and happiest surprise of my life! My bill from 2 nights in the hospital last month (non drinking related btw) had been reduced from nearly $9,000 to $50!!! I feel so grateful right now. After that, I felt even more confident to open bill number 2. It was also not as bad as I thought and tho usually I would have put it aside, I felt so good that I paid that mo fo right there.
I have to learn to confront problems and not try to escape them. Alcohol is such a bitch for that! And as I saw today, those problems are probably not as mountainous as they first seem. I still have the biggie, student loans to pay, and I have a LOT. But I feel better and am actively going to begin to pay those off, even if its just a little at a time.

Sometimes what we fear isn't as bad as we think it is. I know I always seem to think the worst outcome in most unpleasant situations. I think that has to do with my depression though, in addition, to the addiction.
