Been dealing with health issues for over 12 months. I have been highly anticipating a procedure on Tuesday the 29th as a possible solution. But they called and canceled it today. They moved the procedure to the end of November. 
Really disappointed. Trying to except life on lifeās terms, but im pissed off and bummed out. Not in self pity, I have much to be grateful for. Just venting.
Sober today by the grace of God and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Hey Matt. I hate that they rescheduled on you especially when youāre probably anxious about the procedure yet hopeful it will help you feel better. That sucks and is very disappointing Iām certain. Iām sober from alcohol and also a nurse. Maybe try riding them to reschedule sooner. Did they say why they did that?
Thank you Mindy. Yes the Dr was pushing out all appointments. I requested a sooner date, but the anesthesia would not be available. They are supposed to get back to me. At that time I will discuss local anesthesia and or a different provider to perform the procedure.

Sorry to hear about the delay. I know this has been weighing on your mind. While I canāt relate to the details of your situation, I certainly can relate to the feelings of disappointment, anger, and frustration. Like you, Iām also learning to vent and process these feelings in a healthier way. A friend of mine (30 years sober) was venting to me the other night after a meeting about a situation in her life. I thought it was so cool to hear how sheās feeling and dealing with it. She said something that stuck with me. Itās perfectly ok to not be happy about things. However, itās important to look at how and why youāre so bothered. Typically itās fear, lack of control, and/or self centeredness. Then she does exactly what you didā¦humble yourself and get into gratitude. It doesnāt fix the issue, but it makes the unmanageable more manageable

Thanks Lee. I agree with that whole heartedly. As my sponsor reminded me ā this is a normal reaction that anyone would have to this situation, itās not the isim. Itās just being humanā I am also aware that I can just feel the feeling. Nobody is happy at all times. This too shall pass.
Now into action.
