My stress level at work is going way up. At work, I have a new person I am training—this week I train her 5 hours a day. I have to train her and still get my job done. Then there is also my graduate school…When I get under stress like this I sometimes have cravings to drink after work. One of my biggest excuses to drink was my stress level from work and school—as soon as I got off I would drink until I no longer remembered the stress—until it all disappeared. Already my mind is thinking that it would be nice to escape…just shut everything off for a few hours.
