I recently left work, it was a case of jump or be pushed, and im in two minds about finding something else.
Like you i worry about being lazy, I also worry about the stress involved in finding and starting a new job (and not having any money!)
Ive never been out of work for long before and I feel guilty about it for some reason, too much watching Jeremy Kyle maybe, having said that any Jeremy Kyle is too much really.

Don't beat yourselves up for being lazy over the weekend, its easy to underestimate the amount of damage you do to yourself when you are drinking.
Your body is laid in bed the after a night off the booze going "THANK F**K FOR THAT!!!!".
Beating yourself won't do any good and you'll only make yourself feel worse.
Focus on how well you are doing not on the fact that your body & mind needed a break.
Day 5! Love the fact that we are through the weekend, can start moving forward now get some days under our belts. We'll be in double figures by next weekend!!!

Hurray the world is back to normal, bills in the post, everythings open and im so glad.
The christmas season to me is like being in limbo.
Im planning to be more active today, no more excuses allowed, housework, homework and paying my bills, Im looking forward to it all.
Well done to everyone who stayed sober over the weekend and if you didnt, start again I honestly believe its possible.

Hi all! Day 2 here and congrats to those of you on Day 5!! Yesterday was a long, restless, unproductive day and I am actually glad to see Monday. Although I work from my home, the weekdays still have a sense of more structure. Telecommuting definitely enabled my downward spiral but I am determined to make up for it this year. I want to be the employee (and person!) I know I am capable of!
Wishing everyone a happy and sober Monday!

Day 5 for me here and I'm feeling really good. Congratualtions to everybody who didn't drink today and lets do the same tomorrow. It is getting easier with each passing day.
I did have a reality check this afternoon when my buddy called and said he is going back to Iraq in three weeks and wants to have a party at the bar. I left it open because I didn't really know what to say, but I just hope he is willing to meet me at a different spot for a smaller goodbye. We've been friends for awhile so I hope he is cool with it, but I don't know how to really bring the subject up. I guess in a round about way I'm asking for some suggestions. Any ideas?

What I'm trying to say really is that I've stopped and started and stopped and started so many times that I'm afraid to say I quit drinking again only to drink and come off as a failure and be embarrased. Should I be deceptive for a little while about quitting as a sort of safe guard, even though I know I really want to quit, or have the perceived embarrasment be another reminder of letting myself down if I were to f**k up. If this makes no sense thats fine, I often don't make sense to myself so I would underdstand.
