Change is always hard to handle especially when it;'s a change we don't particularly like.

But you can deal with this Angie - you'll be ok

Absolutely, Angie. Drinking will only make the situation worse. Sorry the bosses are making these changes, but of course you can't control them, you can only control how you react to their decisions. Maybe they'll change their minds again soon and you'll end up back by someone you like. Either way, glad you're not going to drink over it.

Thank you so much Casey and Dee. I think this might be the big change to help me go to AA tomorrow night and to start to meet new people and make new sober friends. I think I might need this. I can go Friday night and Saturday. I pick up Alex Sunday morning.

cool!

Give it a go! I just started back on a couple of AA meetings a week starting last week. I'm also mainly doing it for the fellowship. It's been a wise decision so far. While SR is the foundation of my recovery plan, I definitely feel better after getting some face to face interaction with some good people who are living a clean and sober and happy life today.

Angie247

Casey, thank you so much for your wisdom and advice.

Angie247

I'm just struggling a little bit tonight and you've always been so kind to me. Thank you.

CaseyW

The feeling is very mutual, Angie.

Angie247

Feeling good, a little tired but that's usual for me. Only one more hour left at work!!!

Glad you are feeling good Angie. Do you have plans for tonight?

Thanks for sharing your journey Angie! You're on definitely on the right path doing it one day at a time and keeping it simple. Good luck, Ipanema

Hi Angie! I'm struggling too! It's been a stressful couple of weeks at home because my husband has been working late and all of the household responsibilities fall on me. Work has been slow and I got news that my job duties are in limbo for the next 6 months; instead of doing supervisory work that I love, I may have to go back into production.

In any event, without booze (or junk food) to fall back on, all I can do is face it. The beauty of recovery, and AA, for me is that I'm not alone anymore. Neither are you!

Angie247

Thank you all so much.

Angie, you are FANTASTIC, rootin for ya.

Angie247

I don't deserve you all but I'm very thankful. I've made very special friends here and I'm so grateful. I'm going to bed sober on another Friday night and a huge part of it is all of you and your support. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Dee74

Sure you deserve good friends Angie- everyone does

Angie247

Thank you, Dee. . I'm just a little hard on myself sometimes. I need to work on that. Thank you for everything.

Angie247

I hope it's okay if I keep updating this thread tonight. I'll probably be asleep within the hour. This will be my sober but tired thoughts.

Angie247

My boss told me since I got to go home this past Christmas that I probably won't be able to this year. It was devastating but in my head I'm like just hold on a couple months more and you and Alex can spend his spring break there. I'm not drinking over it.

Dee74

I'm pretty tired myself Angie so I hope you have a good sleep.

I hope things change for you at work before Xmas
