TOPIC: When 1 Door Closes Another 1 Opens Hi Im Sharon and Im An Alcoholic. By the grace of my HP and people like you here in SR I havent found it necessary to pick up a drink of "POISON" since 8-11-90. For that and you I am truely grateful. When one door closes another one opens. Ever heard that saying before? What does it mean? When one opportunity like a job, relationship, carrer doesnt pan out and end abruptly we automatically think our life is over. Where are we to go from now? Is it the end of the road for us? Or do we pick ourselves up by the boot straps and begin looking for newer opportunities? My life has been 1 of many ups and downs before, during and after alcohol. Always coming to a fork in the road not knowing which road to take. Is it the the right choice? Some of those choices opened doors and eventually closed. In return other right choices opened doors that ive been extremely grateful for. A door at my job is about to close in 2 weeks. As much as Ive enjoyed my bakery job its management that has given me once again a bad taste in my mouth. I left for a yr. then returned after hip replacement. I was content with my 6 to 2 job until my schedule changed from 8 to 4. This schedule doesnt sit well with my husband and I. We r married to each other and not our jobs even tho we still need to work as we near retirement. Management of course dont see that but use us for their own benifits. Anyway.....i must rely on a Power greater than I to guide me in the direction He wishes for me to go. As this door eventually closes i look for the next one to open by Him. Have doors opened and closed for you? Do you have some ESH u wish to share with others with this situation as it may give hope to others who r struggling? |
