Whoa sounds like you are struggling rn. Be careful addiction wants to issolate. Maybe a meeting will do you some good.
You can PM me if youd like to talk!
Just dont pick up. That wont help anything and will only add guilt and shame

Please stay strong for yourself! Drinking will make this all worse in the morning, you know it!
Youâre not a loser, youâre just a human who has made some bad choices. And guess what, to BE human is to make bad choices. We all made bad choices, not because weâre alcoholics (though that does lead to MORE bad choices, but because we are human).
Sounds like your CV needs simplifying. Think about themes which draw together your work experience and write a short summary of that and include your last 3 work places. You can include âemployed in the xxxxxx sector for xxxxxx yearsâ in the summary so employers get the picture. A CV shouldnât run to more than 2 pages. Ideally, 1.
ODAAT - good luck!

And youâre working on that! Youâre working on changing your life. One sober day at a time. Thatâs hard, tedious work. And slow progress. But it so worth it! Itâs different for everybody but at nearly four years in I still have a long way to go. Still hard working on myself. Still slow progress. Still days I think wtf, I havenât made any progress at all.
But quitting booze and drugs is by far the best decision Iâve made in my life. By far. It has given me the possibility to work on myself, on my relationships, on my career. Going back to drinking would destroy all that immediately. Never again. I canât and I wonât go back ever.
Life is still hard but at least I got stuff to fight for and to live for. And you do too. I see it in what you write. When you still drank you would just have stayed quiet and buried yourself in alcohol. You donât want that no more. You donât do that no more. You choose the better way which is also a tough way because now we have to do the work. Keep going. Despite all the hardship you are making progress. I see it. Iâm glad youâre here with us. Youâre not alone. Big hugs X

@cjp thank you so much 
I am so glad to have met you on this forum
@james83 thank you for the encouragement and those CV tips are great!! I never thought of that - itâs going to be a great solution to this dilemma
@Mno you are absolutely right, this would all be wise for me to remember. I did have an overwhelming feeling today that I had made no progress at all and nothing was getting better. But of course it is! And I need to feel these feelings that Iâve been numbing in order to heal. Thank you for your thoughts it means so much
I admit I did isolate but I used some things in my toolbox (HALT, watching a stupid movie, listening to hard rock) and now I can perceive my head is not quite on right today and thatâs ok. I can take it easy. I will not drink because I do not drink.
Appreciating you all and this place so much.
