Change -- the "mother" of all stressers

Change has been a common weekly theme.  When a therapist gives you an inventory to find out the changes in your life...each change has a number on a scale...EVERY change has a number... that tells us that all the small changes add up to BIG numbers in the end... big numbers mean big change (BIG STRESS).. so the little things really do matter.  Learning to vent the small things, let things roll off your back if possible, and finding outlets that are positive-reinforcement, outer circle, healthy behaviors: are such important Tools towards recovery.

Change IS going to happen.  Have tools, use tools, stay sober.
