Lately I have been struggling g. I was sober for 4 months but then started a new job and thought I would love it and it is not what I thought it would be. So it has been tough at night and I have slipped up.

Slips happen. Don’t beat yourself up. Sometimes jobs are not what we think. I went through 4 different companies after I got sober to find what I wanted. All you can do is the best you can do. If it isn’t the right fit, start looking for a new job. Right now don’t worry about the job. Get back on the train and start the sober work again. Those 4 months are not gone. You will be good. I believe that!

For me, I try to remember that I can find joy regardless of my circumstances, and that the joy I find is on sobriety.

I can relate. What is in your control to manage?

Usually it is my workouts and my morning/routine but those have also been thrown off due to my new work schedule.
Sorry to hear, Tiffany. Pick yourself up, dust off and get back to it. I have interviewed for two jobs in the last year and thought I had both. Lost both. Relapsed each time. I haven’t mastered control of my emotions as a sober person yet. But I’m learning. I know it’s been hard for my loved ones to see the struggle but I know In my heart that these experiences are learning ones. We will one day be able to handle adversity and disappointment whithout hitting the bottle. Have faith. You almost have a day down
