job interview for AS
 
Well, after almost two weeks and many applications, my RAS has a job interview tomorrow! He was really pumped about it when I talked to him tonight. Of course, it's only fast food, but it will really help him to keep busier. He seems to be doing really well at the oxford house, going to meetings, getting used to living in a bigger city. Anyway, how about some prayers going up tomorrow afternoon? Thanks friends.

Your son is definitely in my prayers....

I am so happy to hear the positive steps he is taking...

it has been my experience that long term recovery needs these kinds of life changing experiences....(countless failed 28 day programs led me to this conclusion)

I hope all goes well tomorrow

Krhea,
It really sounds like you son is doing well. I'll certainly keep him in prayer.
Don't you love calling him your RAS?

Hugs........Lo

Krhea, That's great - There's no its "only" to it - it's a huge step in responsibility and recovery. He's in my prayers!

Congratulations on the interview.
Remember, one day at a time..... Enjoy the moment, with both eyes open.....


it's only fast food,
Hey, tell that to Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Burger King, Mr. Portillos, the In and out guy,
and don't forget the Latino man, Mr. Taco Bell..... LOL!!

WooHoo for him,
Colleen

Any word Khrea? I'm cheering for him and sending those prayers!

devastated 10-06-2007 04:50 PM

Hello
 
How exciting this is! Be sure and let us know as soon as they tell him "START TOMORROW!"

My prayers are with your RAS!

And, by the way, "it's only" it's a job! Wonderful! I wouldn't care what my son did as long as it was legal!

Hugs, Devastated

krhea75 10-06-2007 06:52 PM

HE GOT THE JOB!
He called tonight, really excited! He starts on Monday! What's really neat is that this place isn't open until all hours of the night. It's open at 10 and closes at 10. So I will know that he won't be coming home late at night. I am so thrilled. God is good and so are all of you! Thanks for the prayers and encouragement. One step at a time.
