(Sigh)

I'm feeling some work stress. Things in the day job have changed dramtically. We've been undergoing pretty significant change since COVID hit. Reorgs, process changes, new product releases and so much more. Our company values the ability to embrace change and pivot and it's a strength of mine. There also comes a time when there is so much change to so much in such a short period of time that you reach capacity.

That's where I am today.

And it feels unfair. I'm a high performer and my record shows it. And I feel like my career is on the line for a number of reasons totally outside of my control.

Wait, things outside of our control and that equallying stress?

🚨🚨🚨RED ALERT!🚨🚨🚨

This is the alcoholic's big fear. It just justifies what's always in the the back of my head.

All this success has been a mirage. Back to the poor house again!

This thinking is damaging and self destructive. Thankfully, I have Steve to talk me down. We hope you find this very helpful as I think every alcoholic can relate to the mindset that all will be lost.
