Feeling hurt and vulnerable
I just lost my job and I don't really know how to deal with this sober. This is the first major setback that I've had to deal with in sobriety. I don't want to drink over this but that thought is popping into my head. I know this disease in cunning, baffling, and powerful and I'm trying to arm myself for tomorrow. I know that I can make it through this sober but I know tomorrow will be a huge battle for me to stay sober.
I am still learning how to deal with life.... and this was a big blow.
So I will just stay sober for 5 minutes at a time. After I get everything taken care of tomorrow with management, I will probably just go do something nice for myself to try to get my mind off of things.
I will try to keep busy tomorrow. Time to pick up the pieces and move on to something better. God has a big plan for everything. I just have to say, "Thy will be done" and keep on looking ahead instead of looking back.
I feel better after venting.
Love and hugs,
Cheryl
