New days, still the absurd

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to say that tonight is my first night sober in many weeks and that I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. After a four day bender these past few days I've finally made the first step. I have a job interview tomorrow, and I won't be hungover!

Good luck to everyone and I hope this new chapter will be full of surprises and good endings.

Great to meet you existentialist. You've come to the right place for support and friendship.
I hope all goes well tomorrow - glad you'll have a clear head. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys! I'll certainly let you know how it goes. I probably won't sleep tonight, at least not well, but I think being a bit tired will beat glassy eyed and nauseated.

Myth- great choice in user name. Camus and Sartre are my main inspirations.

Thank you everyone. My interview went well, I've stayed sober, and I have a feeling I'll get the job

best day so far this year.
