Riddled with Anxiety

Big party at our home this weekend and I am nervous as hell that I will not get my stuff done. I know I will, but for the life of me, it does not matter how much I tell myself I will be fine, and I will get everything done, the anxiety is there.

I simply can't wait till Sunday, because Saturday night will be done and gone. Just how I think.

I have had no desire to drink, but am very aware that these are weak times for me, so I am personally on high alert.

Instead of journaling this, I thought I would brain dump it out here.

Thank you.

You could make a list of things you need to do each day between now and your party. Then check off each one as you do them to give you a sense of accomplishment.

Personally, I'd have to be more worried about my drinking after the event. I could keep it together because I have to to get the party ready, but then after it was over, I would want a drink.
If doing things like this endangers your sobriety, I'd have to ask myself if I really had to do it. And if there was no way I couldn't, find a way to make it less stressful.

Don't be a hero. Ask for help getting the party set up.
