Hang in there Jeni....I know how work/job can throw a wrench into your plans for serenity & sobriety. Keep your sobriety 1st and as others mentioned, without it, everything else can be at risk. Balance is an ongoing job...we all struggle with it especially when it comes to our work. I often try to put what I do at work in perspective: am I saving lives? (no.) what I do or don't get done effect the world as a whole? (no.)...Plus we all hit those 'stuck points' in our recovery and that's when I know I have to hit more meetings or reach out to others in the fellowship. 5 months is solid--you are on your way. Just keep digging in!
