I did give up my job for sobriety - walked out last week -literally.
I was working in a sales environment - highly paced/highly targeted and just not getting the results. I was walking out every day highly demoralised. The societal context was bad news for me to - my colleagues were all uber-cool, fashion conscious, huge personalities (aka read loud and obnoxious
) and I stuck out like a pig's bum in a temple of beauty. Feeling like I did was conducive to my drinking. So here I am with no job - but feeling happier and relieved. That to me, is hope that I can beat this thing.
