urrrghahblaherrrr... :/
 

*sigh* I need to take my own advice *deep breath* *saying out loud: "I can do this. I am worth it."*


I woke up with no job. I tallied one more day on my mirror in dry erase marker. 31 days. They are right. It gets easier to stay sober. EasiER, not easy.
I feel this fear and this anger in the back of my mind. A nostalgia for self pity is creeping in.

F*** OFF self pity. :gaah I don't need you! I need to stay strong and start my life. I WILL stay strong and start my life. I took most of yesterday just calming down. And my boyfriend and I spent the night talking and cuddling. <3 He is amazing.

Today I need action:

Resume
Job Hunt
Taxes

I need to do these things. Saving too. I need to save. Well. Wish me luck. Here I go. :)

good luck, mel...sounds like you're doing it right. keep it up!!

I've been wondering how that turned out for you. Sorry to hear your suspicions were confirmed.

Are you eligible to collect unemployment while you're job hunting?

I love your positive attitude! And you are sober!!! You will find a fabulous job that you are much better suited for. I'm glad you have a supportive boyfriend too!

I am glad that you're taking the right attitude here...even though things might not be where you think they should, but there might be a bigger plan in store for you. Do the legwork, keep self-pity away and look at the big picture. You're doing well.

Good luck on the job front!

Proud of you for those 31 days! You're really doing it. :) All sorts of great new things are waiting for you - you're free.

Yes, self pity is a bugger. I am guilty as charged.

best wishes :)

One thing at a time....baby steps on everything....dont look at it as a huge picture and it will all come together.Stay focused my friend

later on it is easy. There is freedom down the track

(hug)! Taking action instead of moping is admirable!

Yes thankfully. I'm going to do that today.

Thank you. But don't admire me too much. The moping is starting to soak in this morning. I did my taxes yesterday. Today I want to sleep so bad...:sick: :( I think I'll go call my mentor.

Good luck with the job search.
