MIRecovery

Today is just a hard day. I miss my daughter and dog who have passed , I miss my wife who has been out of the country for 4 weeks, I will likely find out tomorrow my job is ending.

But as usual I know things will get better. I know I have many things to be thankful for. I know drinking is not an option. Unfortunately I know those things on an intellectual level but at an emotional level I'm in the basement

I just wish that I would have more good days because these hard ones are getting old but I suppose we all do.

To all whose life is less than peachy we really have no choice but to stay sober and wait for better days.

Stay strong mate

Sending love your way. ♥

Stay strong. I'm very sorry for your losses. Life can be hard but moving through it sober is far better than turning to alcohol.

I'm sorry MIR. When will your wife be back? What is going on with your job?

I'm so thankful we now know that drinking doesn't resolve a thing.
You're a wise man, MIR & I admire you so much. Hoping tomorrow is a brighter day for you.

I have been on a year long contract. They offered me a job, went through background and drug screen, formal offer letter and someone screwed up and they don't have the budget so it looks like they have to end the contract.

Just one more thing to add to bad things bucket then 2 weeks ago I had to put my Golden Retriever down.

Just when you think it can't get any worse it does

I'm just having one of my melt downs. Thanks for listening

I am sorry you've got so much on your plate lately.

Thx for sharing MIRecovery. I've had a couple of difficult days myself. Not the same hardships you have, but hard nonetheless. Hang strong.

I am in the same boat as you right now. My cat's time is near, my husband is working out of town for the next two months, and I may be losing my job soon.

No point in drinking but if I didn't pour out my left overs I would have.

Maybe you will find a better job a result.

I am also going through a tough time butif you can survive the loss of your daughter then I can survive the loss of my career and finances. I can't even get a job flipping burgers at McDonald's cuz of a DUI and bankruptcy. I'm afraid I will be working the graveyard shift lifting boxes in a warehouse for the rest of my life.

However, let's keep on keeping on

I recently filed to have my DUI expunged which means it won't pop up in private background checks when looking for employment.

I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I'm still struggling with sobriety and I am sorry for what you're going thru. Stay strong friend. Nothing lasts forever, at least that's what I'm hoping.

Many prayers for you tonight, my friend.
