I don't think you'll sabotage yourself again, Thrillhou. You know what it cost you in the past.
This job can just be a stepping stone - doesn't have to be forever.
Congrats on day 135!

Boring is better than the horror of the past I guess.

Day 137. The birds go through bird seed and millets like Garfield goes through lasagna. 
I've been eating food like Garfield lately too so I shouldn't talk. Writer's block is a serious thing. I spent half an hour staring at the screen and the best I could come up with is a Garfield reference. It's not even the first one in this thread.

Day 138. Eventually I might look into going in the field of addiction counseling. I need at least 2 years sober. My counselor said that a lot of people in that field get burned out quickly, though. 
Since people like Garfield so much here are jokes from his iconic 1978 riddle book:
What is Garfield's favorite way to catch a fish? Have somebody throw it to him!
What did Garfield say when exploring the jungle? Safari, so good!

I agree 
with Dee. No cancellation for you, Thrill.
Congratulations on your 140 days free. Also, on your upcoming graduation.
Hope you'll start feeling less nervous. I was always very self-conscious & nervous too - and drinking made it worse.

Day 141. One of the problems of working at retail is you'll inevitably hear coworkers talking about drinking/substance abuse type things. I need to guard against rationalizing that the behavior is OK and normal because I hear them talking about it. 
Been there, done that anyways. Some days at Holiday gas station I was so messed up that even Dave Mustaine would be ashamed of me. 
How did they never fire me for that???

Day 142. Eventually I might go to school for addiction counseling or meteorology. 
Balancing that, work and sobriety might be too much, though. I thought I'd be dead or homeless in a tent by this age so I didn't really think about school. 
The dancing bananas might not be appropriate to match with that morbid and sullen sentence. They can be used for comic relief I guess, just like the talking dog in Kobato.
