I will not drink today! I often let the stress of life make me drink. Ill be out of a job soon and definitely do not have another lined up. But I know drinking wont help me find another job sooner.

I'm glad you're here Toni! I'm sorry about your job situation, but you're right, staying sober is what will get you through this situation and help you to find another job.

Good job!

Alcohol has nothing to offer you, it only takes. It is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Recognize that your thinking when it comes to alcohol isn’t always correct. I am only on day 10 so far but I have knocked out cravings but catching myself thinking positive about alcohol and following those thoughts up with “Yep there’s that nonsense again.”

Keep reading here and stop by a meeting if you can. Stay motivated.

You are taking your life back.

Edit: About your job situation. It will be stressful but alcohol would only make it worse. You need to be clear headed to prep your resume and go to interviews.

Hi Toni,

Sorry about your job - that’s super stressful. You are right, drinking won’t help the situation. Hang in there!

whats your plan/program to make this your last day 2?

I too was made redundant. Sadly did the opposite and went on a 3 week bender! Well done you. I made my situation so much worse with withdrawal once I finally woke up and panic really set in! I’m still cracking on but I do have days where I want to hit the bottle or 3! Good luck.

Congrats on day 2 Toni

Have you thought what you might do differently this time?
