I have 30 days to find another professional job. Scared shi+less. I do however have my sobriety. Without it I would be having to quit using, be unemployed and basically unable to find work for 30 days. While I am angry etc about being laid off ---- I am thrilled to be sober. Surrender came to me in meeting. It's like I finally got it.
I was laid off October 11th with about 110 other people. I work in the mortgage industry. We got a very good severance package that will last till December also, then unemployment. Sober here as well
It kind of works out well. I can take much needed time to focus on my recovery and sobriety and figure out what I am going to do from here!
