BEH you keep in there, little by little the stress will fade away, just a day at a time, or an hour at time, or a minute at time.
I think I read in Bards posts, that in the beginning he went for 15 minutes. Just 15 minutes. It may be hard to keep sober for 15 minutes, especially in face of a challenge, but it's not impossible.
As I am writting this, I think I need to go to that method too. ;D
A good chodesh to YOU!!!!
