I have been so ashamed of myself. I keep thinking each day will be better but physically I'm so exhausted and feel flu-like symptoms. Perhaps some of that is the negativity I feel about myself.

Much as the serenity prayer goes. I also have discovered that a few things that I have to be very proactive about in my recovery such as reducing stress and focused honesty actually help me succeed in the business world. Especially in managing other people or in deciding schedules of priority. Just because I have to live in a certain manner to remain sober, doesn't mean that this is a bad thing. In fact, the self awareness and introspectiveness can be very empowering in the business world.
