I’m in the process of looking for work and finding it so challenging to stay positive through all the applications, interviews and the waiting.. The shadowy character in me wants to sabotage every potential opportunity and keep whispering that I “can’t do it,” “don’t deserve it” or worse yet, that “nothing matters so what’s the point.” Argh. This life-on-life’s-terms stuff is not for the weary.
It sure ain’t. Welcome to the living. We as addicts want every NOW! Lol. Feel ya. Just keep hanging and those blessings from life will surely come. Guaranteed. You doing awesome.
Resist those bad thoughts because there lies our mind tells us to trick us back into the prison of addiction!!!
Jen! Thank you for sharing this. Your not alone. I too had these same feelings pop up at weird times in my sobriety. I can say that when I pray for the right attitude, direction and courage my situation at hand usually works it’s self out…
Remember that life is blissfully beautiful and worry doesn’t do us any good.
