No alcohol, lots of stress

Well, a week with no alcohol and it has been pretty easy, needless to say. I didn't think it would be overly difficult but I also knew the stress would be coming with this move we are making. I think this resolution has good timing because without this outlet of evening relaxation, I am dealing with the stress in a different way. Yesterday when I was packing up mementos, pictures, old baby videos, I was pretty down. I tried to figure out how we got here and tried not to think about the financial piece of it. Then I made that conscious decsision to start thinking more positively. Instead of escaping, I might as well accept and think of the bright side. It worked for today at least...tomorrow is another day to tackle!

Wow Stephanie. I am so impressed with how you are challenging yourself and meeting it. I think if things started to get hard (like having to move) I'd use that as an excuse to put off my "resolutions". It makes me so sad that you are actually starting to pack. Can I help in any way?
