Talking Back to the work world
So I'm a week shy of being 9 months sober now. I haven't had a job in about 2 years. I found out this morning that I got the job I interviewed for. Feels really good to get back out and have something to do and make some money. I'm a bit anxious to see how I am while working, but I feel I should be fine. My anxiety has gotten much better over the last 3 months. I've gotten way better at controlling it. Things are looking good. It will be awesome to work and not be hung over.
