Well, I have made it to Day 30, which happens to be on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I have had a very emotional couple days. One of the ladies who I sublet my office from (the same lady who took my office space that day without notifying me) has had nasty responses to me about a couple things, and so I have given her my 30 day notice. I loved the space and time, but it's just not worth my serenity. I am paid through December, but here I am now stressing about finding a place before January. I pretty much told myself that as long as I don't drink, all of this will just eventually pass and I will get through it. It sucks that this happened the day before Thanksgiving but maybe this is God's way of strengthening my sobriety. I understand that life does not always go as planned and that it is during the tough times that we can sometimes grow the most.

F- grow with support, yes. Which is what you are doing. Stay safe, don't rev up the AV, remember HALT plus feelings of sadness (HALTS). Obviously- don't reach for quick fix/escape alcohol. PJ.
Happy TH-G to you.

FreedomCA - I was in a similar situation where I needed to move on such short notice and took to drinking thinking it would go away. Wrong... just made it worse. I had to sober up and find my new home.

You can do this!

Freedom, I think it's good to look at this situation as a positive and that, in some way, things will be better. Taking care of your serenity is most important.

Anna is so right,
Now being sober things that I think are bad end up being for the best. I think as long as you don't drink most things will work out

Hi Freedom, stay calm, stay sober, take time to reassess, create game plan, execute plan. Problem solved. You have time to do this.

You can stress over and still need another place or get busy looking for another place.

Hope, you find a place more suitable for you

Good luck on your search

Thanks for the responses. I was subletting from two people in the same building so I do still have something to work with. Ideally, however, I would like to move on from this place completely, as I just get a negative vibe. I am very close with my parents, and so they would be willing to help me find a new place. I am not too concerned about finding a new place, it's just that I now have to take the time to change everything. But I know it's for the best. I want to feel comfortable in the place I work. I did learn from this experience to take subletting more seriously. I need to ask more questions in the beginning.
