cmhcali - I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now. You mentioned staying with your folks for a couple of days, that is a brillant idea.
177 days for me today! Are you all going to throw me out next Sunday when I have 6 months?

((((CMHCALI)))) I am so VERY sorry about things going so bad for you right now. Remaining sober is crucial for you especially now. Your depression and your problems will only escalate if drink. Please take gentle care of yourself and pm me if you ever feel you need to. I will check in often. Have to take my son to a kindergarten screening this morning, but I will be back. Don't isolate yourself. I'll be praying for you.
No way would we give you the boot TM. We need people like you around here.

Day 102
Oh man....
My 19 year old daughter just called me. They let her go from the new job as a waitress. She was in tears. She had been really sick, but she still made it in, and they told her she wasn't "up to par"...whatever that means. She really loved this new job. But was still in the training phase. had not started serving yet. It was a job where she would waitress, and sing at the place.
She has to go in at 2:00pm today to turn in her apron and server book. She is going to try and explain that she was sick. And the worse thing is that they really need people. People who can sing and serve. People have been complaining that they don't have any good singers, and they finally get one, and let her go. My heart is just breaking for her, and I'm having a small anxiety attack over it. She just moved into a new apartment.
Plus I have another dental appointment myself. I hate this...my teeth are just falling apart.
And no jobs for me either. Just hanging on. Applying, and waiting. At least I have more time with Unemployment.
I just don't get what is going on in this day and age. Employers just seem to let people go for any little thing without even trying to work it out.

I sympathise Log, feel my teeth are falling apart too, those few teeth I have left that is.
Suppose the years of drinking can't have done them any good if I'm honest.
I was going to put it to the vote TM but Horsie says you can stay and she'll get upset if I go against her !!!!!!!
If your at your parents for a few days CM enjoy the break, I like to try and do something different to take my mind off things now and again. Taking my kids to the Zoo or park or something, anything thats away from normal crap like work and doesn't include alcohol.
Staying sober but not working too hard staying sober if that makes sense !!!!!!!
Think we all maybe beat ourselves up more than we have to sometimes.
Life's supposed to be fun I think.
I had a poster on my wall when I was a teenager ( many years ago ) that had a picture of two dolphins, I think, may have been whales, anyway it had a quirky wee quote on it whatever they were, they weren't Goldfish I know that.
The quote was " All animals apart from man realises that the purpose of life is to enjoy it ".
It was only a poster mind, don't remember where I bought it, probably didn't give the meaning of life on it.
Having fun for a couple of days can't do you any harm though !!!!!!!!

It's part of our law, Fizzy! Or at least our declaration of Independence...
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
So I do my part for sure...to try and do just that. But yeah, today was not one to remember. My poor lassy, and then when I got to the dentist today I said, "What are we doing today?" Two filling and an extraction"...(eeek!) I was not ready for that..but extract they did. And I here I sit with applesauce, and yogurt. And nothing stronger for pain the ice packs, Advil, and Tylenol.

Day 1.
I'm ready for unconditional sobriety. No more "breaks," no more designated drinking days, or pretending like I don't have a predictable drinking habit.
Hi! I'm new here. Going to have a very introspective week coming up. Lots of damage to clean up. Wish me luck.

approaching 6 months
I am hitting 6 months sober, by the grace of God.
I hit a lot of meetings but have not yet done step 4, so it is a goal for the end of the summer!
Life sober is stange. I am single recovering christian over 40 years old.I used to meet my mates in bars; but look where that got me!!lol.
I don't miss using as my higher power removed my obsession almost immediately. I lost my job and but I have faith that things will work out.
I surrender daily, somethimes hourly to my higher power.
The freedom of sobriety is a powerful way of being. I know that if I stay sober than I have a chance of making a life for myself.
"Keep the faith"

Hi all! 100 days today for me and I am so VERY thankful for SR lately. I have been touching base with this a lot more lately and so I guess I've needed it. Was asked recently how I am and my reply was "Great!" I wouldn't have said that a few days ago when I drifted away from this place and so its good for me and you people are good for me.
I am done with the ramble for today.

Day 103
I really love this group. Welcome to our new people! Fun group we got going here...er...when we are all happy....LOL.
Boston...I'm ignoring you....(That picture is BADDDDD!) I'm flossing, brushing, and using my ACT twice a day now. I'm trying to become OCD about it! Down to 24 teeth...eeek.
Really what a difference a day makes. When you are feeling low...just hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day.
Today I helped my daughter submit her resume to another postion, and submitted a few myself. Including one to the position a woman had told me to apply for. So that is really cool. I hope they call me. And it wasn't just BS.
And no, they would not let her have a second chance. Oh well, after reading the online reviews..I can see they have some "management issues".
