Lot of new product launches at my company now, which means lots of decisions having to be made fast, some of them turning out better than others...
This being the backdrop, my boss's boss's boss told me in a meeting to urgently see her the next day...and then postponed to the NEXT day. With no clue as to the topic. My alcoholic brain of course goes into overdrive, imagining the worst, sleepless night (throwing up at one point, sorry to say). It turned out it was just some trivial information she wanted. Mental note made of that for gauging the portent of future requests.
Anyway, I WOULD have drank over something like this in the past, but this time I just dealt with it, albeit not with a lot of grace (my stomach is still not totally back to normal two days later, so I hope I haven't spawned an ulcer).
I guess this is another of the types of things that I'm going to have to totally rearrange my thinking about if my sobriety is gonig to continue to increase in quality.

I'm so grateful that I don't have to drink at every thing, I was always stressed, and then always hung-over and more stressed. After reflecting on your post I found I'd say that over time I found I don't flip about every tedious thing, as I'm spending more time appreciating the important stuff and all the beautiful little details. I have hot button stuff related to character defects not yet resolved, so I can get upset, however the way I handle it is already different.
