Any major hurdles or accomplishments this week? Or are you just keeping on?

I just remembered today that I've been two years sober as of June 30th. As someone who used to be so focused on drinking and ritual and celebration, it just wows me that this milestone just kind of passed me by. It was just another day I made the decision to not have a drink.

Congrats on the 2 years, that's huge! It was 10 for me last month.

Coincidentally, I also started my own business last month. I thought no longer having to work for someone else would relieve some stress, but it turns out it's just a different kind of stress to start a business from the ground up by yourself.

Not going back, though!

Stress never really goes away, does it? Just need to develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Good luck on the business! Hope the new boss isn't a jerk!
