Hell Week

So this past week I've almost been fired from my new job, divorced from a 13 year marriage for something that happened 14 years ago, and had the worst flare of arthritis ever. It would be two weeks today and I'm not sure how to say this to you all. I really did give it my all. This was truly one of the worst weeks of my entire life with both my job and then my marriage up in the air. Even given everything that happened....

I DIDNT DRINK!

LIKE ... AT ALL.

😄😄😄😄😄

I'm sorry you had such a rough week, but you should be very proud of two weeks sober!

Fantastic! And, I'm sorry about the terrible week. But, it's good to know that you are now sober and prepared to deal with things at work and the loss of your marriage.
