I've been OK so far.. but today....

the anxiety is AMPED up.....I find out today about my job. I keep telling myself...I HAVE A CHOICE.....about how whatever happens will affect me. That was not always the case...but today I am responsible. A friend in recovery told me not to let my feelings dictate what I do...they're real but not reality....do the next RIGHT thing...my actions are what's important...sort of fake til you make it.

Rob as others have said, breath, be calm, be aware that banging your head against a wall or screaming at the top of your lungs will change nothing, what will happen or not happen is how it is going to be. If it is not what you hoped for then obviously it is the right time for change.

If it is the end of your job then part on good terms, burning bridges in not a good thing, you want the best possible reference you can get if need be.

That's it Rob. Your feelings are just feelings. They are not 'you'.

You will get through this.

Whatever the outcome, you can't change that. You will feel better once you know. We're all here to support you mate, keep your chin up and keep working on staying sober.

Have you got any plans if it doesn't go well on the job front?
