I was dreading xmas but really enjoyed it. A week ago I lost my job due to getting drunk at the xmas party. I felt and do feel it was unfair. So tomorrow I am back to the real world, job centre and job hunting and it’s a horrible feeling. I am in recovery and will be in a meeting tomorrow at 12:30 to help me thorough

Good luck Rickwills! Your attitude is fantastic - recognising your feelings of dread and pushing through them at Xmas. I hope the horrible job hunting is short lived! New beginnings. (PS I would be secretly happy to work in a new place where nobody thought of me as a ‘big drinker’ I could turn up and be the ‘non drinker’) 
Thank you. Thats a great point, I would like to be known as the non drinker. In my last job everyone drunk allot, including the manager who let me go.
Good Luck RickWills 
You’re going to smash this new life, looking good and feeling good 
Do keep us updated, will be amazing to hear about the changes that happen to our lives as we kick our addictions into the dirt

Think of it as a fresh start where people can’t tell stories of you drinking. I wish the same could be said about family, I’ll never live some of my stories down. Ugh.
Don’t try and avoid stories about you, embrace them! Life’s too short, enjoy every aspect of it 
I know! On one hand I hate them, on the other hand it’s yet another reminder why I should never pick up the bottle again.
