It's so empowering...

to start cleaning up the mess. It is also very frustrating. I have paper all over my office...what's been paid, what hasn't been paid. Sorting it out and cleaning it up is such a great feeling and I feel the stress melting away. Wow, what a clear mind can do for you!

Eclipse- That is inspiring. Good for you! I too have loads of personal stuff the tackle. Stuff that the bottle prevented me from addressing. I know the motivation will come. You post reminded me that diving in and addressing it will start to "melt the stress away".
Very, very awesome eclipse
I, too, am finding myself inspired to tackle a lot more organizing/cleaning around here. On top of having renewed energy that I haven't had in the longest time. Here I thought I was "supermom" on the pills and I am finding that was nothing but an illusion that my addiction was feeding me. Amazing what can happen when that fog lifts
Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work

Putting off doing/cleaning/sorting things is part of the reason I want to quit so badly. After a night of drinking I am feel especially sickened at how much stuff I need to do. Then when I get home I am exhausted and in order to forget about it....I drink. And the cycle goes round and round. Thanks for the post!! I really look forward to getting ahold of my life. How good is feeling a sense of accomplishment?!

Oh lord I can relate ....and I am bad for clutter and my non alcoholic wife ( and big support) and I have just so much clutter....big push now to get it all sorted , recycled and out the door. Why the heck do I have so many things? And where will I find the next surprise empty...lord but it sure feels good...even when I come across an empty I never knew I put there and thank each day I am not doing that ... like sobriety , no mountain is moved in a day...a few loads each day and soon the mountain changes shape and looks better.
I still have alot to do, but I am actually feeling motivated, not discouraged, stressed and freaked out. The sunshine outside helps alot too. I need to get back into a walking routine. I love to walk and get outside. I worked in the yard over the weekend and wore myself out. Lots of scratches and bruises from yard work, but it feels great. Now if I can just keep it up and not let some little stupid thing give me a reason to go out and drink!
