As the others have said, sometimes it just has to be the way it has to be. Do what you need to do. It is only a suggestion to not make major life changes in the first year. Sometimes that is just not an option. Sometimes you cannot plan things so neatly and sometimes letting things remain the same are not conducive to your sobriety, sometimes making the change is what is needed.
Whether you are in AA or not, whether you believe or not, i find strength in the Serenity prayer.. .
