Too heavy. There I will be honest with the OP. Covid and work from home did a number on me. I have always been a fan of alcohol at the right times and places. Since CV my times start late morning and go to 3 pm. I stop after that, never get drunk, just a light buzz. Vodka with copious amounts of water is my routine. Self medicating for sure but so far I found nothing else to be a substitute. I started going to the gym again and walking everyday so not all is lost. My job is solid as are my relationships.

I am only posting here in honest fashion because I have for the last 30 years struggled with managing stress. It comes and goes. I used to be able to sweat it away (raced bicycles and gym fan) but I'm turning 61 next week and my sports injuries and arthritis make that stuff more difficult.

Reading back what I just said I am still in a positive place. Could be better, could be much worse.
