Gah!
OK, so I just faced my enormous impending tax bill, which has been lingering over my head for several months. I have faced what I need to do instead of hiding from it behind a bottle. I will admit that for the last ten minutes, it really occurred to me to go to the store and get a bottle of vodka to relieve the anxiety. But because you are all here, and because that will only make me feel worse tomorrow, I am choosing not to do that. I'm smoking like a chimney but at least my behind is not pulling into the parking lot of a liquor store. Thank you for being here everyone.

Good for you, stayingsober!! I can definitely relate to the stress. I find it really hard for my mind to adjust to doing new things to cope with it--meditation, exercise, SR. It feels very alien. I'm keeping at it, though, and slowly trying to break that habit of running to the bottle for everything instead of facing it.
