Four Months Yesterday

Haven't been around. I had four months yesterday.
I have a job interview tomorrow and I'm sick about it.
I just am not ready to go back to work.
But times are so bad now. I have too. It hard.
I'm scared.

Sober four months - what a miracle you are, LL. I'm so glad to see you checking in, and to hear this.
Job interviews make me feel sick too. Turn it over as best you can. I'll pray for you.

Congrats on four months!!! I'd rather not work either, but sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Let's be thankful that we live in a country where we have so many opportunities! Keep up the great work!

Yeah if that "not working" thing just paid better, I could really get used to it

Take a deep breath, say the serenity prayer, and go knock their socks off. You can do it. Please post back and let us know how it went.

good LL,on your 4 months-been missing you

good thing about that job interview,God`s just giving you chances to outgrow that fear and improver your economic situation and
you can realize that promise-economic insecurity will leave us.....
but one of the greatest things is He is giving you the chance to get out there,stay sober and be all you can be in life and in sobriety!

wow,you truly are blessed with opportunity's!
