Day 12 (started off rocky)

As some may know yesterday I found out my unemployment has ended. This A.M. when I woke up, anxiety kicked in. What if I don't find a job? What if Noone calls? But once again, the reminder that I can do this because I was sober, kept replaying in my head. So I quickly turned off my self-pity mode and went on craigslist before my daily gym routine. Two hours later, I set up 3 interviews just for tomorrow. Amazing, when sober how much easier it is to achieve your goals. This will also be the first job interview that I have been on in 4 years where I am not either smelling of wine, or shaking from wdrawals because I didn't drink in the morning. Please wish me luck and keep me in your prayers. My old way of thinking before alcohol is starting to come back..."the only unattainable goal is the one you don't reach for."

Thank you tambdy...and I agree. I'm starting to think most of my anxiety came from wine. I used to use it as a go-to until my go-to was literally 23 hours a day. I never thought, life could be amazing, even when things so wrong.
