I am getting my new job, straightened out. I am making it through the first day. No drinking, hurt me back so taking it easy, at home. Hoping to work day shift, so I can go back to IOP. Feels so good to be taking care of myself, haven’t done that for a while. Not trying to be selfish, just gain a little self esteem back! Feeling excited about my new job, and trying to get back into my original IOP. Made it a month and a half. But had a couple slips, then I was told if I wanted a job, I had to work, nights , I had to pull out, and have been drinking regularly, so since then. I hope to make this my day back, to sobriety. And a start to something, in the right direction.
Never felt guilty for taking care of you. If you need to take this job for now: do it. Then, look for something else. It's easier to find a job while employed than unemployed; and being off during the day gives you the chance to go to interviews without taking off from work.
Thanks, absolutely appreciate it
