anew

Recycle, come down from the ledge

Seriously, when I was about 7 mos into recovery I made the decison to change jobs. I wanted to earlier, but people in my recovery meetings kept telling me that I would be making a huge mistake and would surely bring undue stress upon myself and relapse.

Well, I had had enough of the 16hr days, no lunch or potty breaks and the hour-long drive one way...not to mention the non-stop heavy lifting. I took a job closer to home, with no heavy lifting, and with a minute fraction of the stress that I once had and as an added perk I get to eat AND take potty breaks when I need to. If anything this new job has enhanced my recovery a thousand fold.
