Hi Dom, the saying I like goes....

When one door closes another door opens, even if it is hell in the hallway!

All the best getting well hun

Just don't spend so much time staring at the closed one and not see the open one in front of you...

Prayers sent your way and better things to come.

I am so sorry that you have been so sick and that you lost your job. That sounds like a lot of stressors! BUT I'm SO glad to see you back here. I was so worried about you that you disappeared after your relapse. I'm just really happy to see your face around here again :day6

Have you thought of unemployment? If helps a lot when you loose a job.

I've always been a believer in the little saying "everything happens for a reason." Find the good in your situation. Easier said than done but a better job may be right around the corner. I've lost many a job due to late night parties. Of course, they were just little service jobs to help me pay for college. Not sure if yours was a professional job or career type thing. Keep your head up and don't drink. It's easier to solve problems that way. Sending good karma your way.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry you went through that. You must have been so scared with such a serious disease! Please take good care of yourself and eat good food (no worries about dieting right now, just feed your body well so it can heal, please!) and rest as much as you can.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and get a wonderful new job for you. I can't wave a magic wand but I sure will keep you in my prayers.

This probably sounds dumb but I'm relieved in a way you weren't posting for that reason, rather than because the alcohol monster took a bite out of you again. The way I see it, you can get through any obstacle and any bad thing on earth, except for that monster that wants to bite you.

Please be gentle with yourself during this time. I hope and pray you will heal from the illness quickly and also that an even better job will come your way!

Keep your chin up, Dominica. Everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for all of the encouragement. I have already filed for unemployment, so hopefully that will be approved soon. I wasn't given the option for FMLA, even though the company should have given me that option. I am kind of still in shock, to be honest. I know I need to stop stressing so I can get better though. Right now just trying to figure out the budget to keep the electricity on and my baby fed. Thanks again for all the support.

Share your struggles and concerns at the meetings. You never know who will hear you or what opportunities will arise.

Wishing you the best, Dom.
