Stress, Stress and more Stress!

Hey everyone.
Its been awhile since I posted.
Let me just say without going into details, I am stressed out at the moment big time.
I am glad I am not drinking cause I really do believe that would make things worse.
Its been over 4 months since I had a drink. I will just get through this stressful moment and all should be good. I think drinking would be just like adding salt to a wound.
Sober life is good and where its at.
I hope this helps motivate someone out there in the cyber world of sober recovery.

Glad to hear a positive motivation. I can not wait until i can say that it has been "months" since i have had a drink. Longest i have made it is one month. Glad to hear from you and would have to agree that a drink would probably not help your stress...Hang in there.

Drinking would definately make it worse.
I have been walking alot lately. Now that I have a new puppy I have to. But it has helped me alot in staying calm and rtelaxing some.
You can make it through. I am glad you know that.

Thanks for checking in Roux!

I'm sorry you are having a tough time. You're so right; drinking will not help your stress or situation. Take some deep breaths, focus on the moment, and be kind to yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing you come out the otherside of this with more insight and wisdom!

Keep on keeping on!

"THere is nothing so bad that drinking couldn't make it worse." You are so right about staying sober. Drinking will only make a bad situation worse. Congrats on four months!

How healthy is that?! To realize you are under a lot of stress...and even more, realize how better off you are to face it sober. I applaud you!

Thanks everyone--the stress finally backed off a bit. It was much better being sober dealing with it.
As almost always---Everything works out in the end.
