I really should be working!!!

[lexie1213]

Hey all,
I really should be working right now but I just can't get enough of this site today, and I just wanted to say thank you to Carol and Paulie for their responses it meant alot especially when Paulie quoted me pretty cool that you found words of mine important enough to qoute. Especially when we can be so hard on ourselves and think so little of ourselves like I did earlier today but U know it took two people that I don't really even know to care enough to respond that made me want to care enough about myslef to make it through today!! Thanks ladies!! So, on a getting to know all of you better kind of note, I don't know what y'all do for a living but I work in an office all by myself so it can be kind of lonely!!! That's why I say I really should be working but this is so much more fun!!! With that I have alot of time to reflect and on a good day that's fine but on days like today it can be scary! All I am trying to do right now is be ok with myself, yeah I make mistakes and I don't always cross all my T's or dot all my i's but at the end of my day I realize that I am generally a good person who loves and just wants to be loved in return (don't we all?) So I appreciate this site and look forward to getting to know you all better. Others sometimes can do for you what you can't do for yourself we all need a little help!!!

Oh we have more than just addiction in common. I am self employed work from home alone by myself...oh yes it can get very lonely. And days I spend WAY to much time at SR with friends here and sharing recovery.

But the good thing about being self employed is I can work when I want. For an addict like myself, that can be dangerous

[lexie1213]

Oh yeah way dangerous Paulie at least for me!!! I'm the kind of person who needs some structure I'm still like a little kid that way. I think it's great that you are self employed what an accomplishment!! I know for me if I didn't have to report to someone, sometime, nothing would get done!!! Especially with my addicton that is just too much freedom especially this early in my sobriety. My hat is off to you!!!

[Paulie]

But I do have to report to someone...first myself and my HP, second I have bills to pay and customers to bill. Being self employed if the work is not done, the money does not come in.

No hat off to me....I am just working like everyone else, I can just do it in my jammies if I want

[lexie1213]

This is true and in that order usually for me, I get up in the morning and answer to my aches and pains then I thank my HP for bringing me to another day. Oh and also because I pretty much work alone I may not dress in jammies but my clothes at times can be questionable my ex always teases me about them.

[Paulie]

LOL...well questionalble can be just as comfy as jammies

Hi Lexie,

Welcome to SR! I see that you've already found what a great place this is to visit and hang out.

It sounds like you're doing really well. I think being alone can be so wonderful, but there are times when you really just want someone to talk to. I'm glad you've joined us.

How are you doing with early sobriety?

You might want to visit our Alcoholism Forum sometime.
