Day 2311.
Accepted a new role at a different agency today that is technically a step up from the role I am leaving. Excited for the new opportunity, although I am still a little moody by the way things are being handled by my current agency. Even at the nonprofit level workplace drama exists. All things considered it feels like a good time to move on and embrace the opportunity to be involved in guiding my new agencies client services.

Home after a long week plus of travel. I had two weeks off and had a great weekend with girlfriends and a nice week taking my Mom to and from Chicago so she could visit relatives. My Mom and I arenāt friends, we donāt talk about our lives and our feelings and some of that poked through on this trip. I was able to set a boundary which felt good and we really had a good time even though it was cut short due to her health.
It feels great to be back home.
Shoutout to @Tragicfarinelli for keeping me sane on my trip with supportive messages. Iāve got your back for your sisterās visit.
@RosaCanDo I am sending you a giant hug for yesterdays panic attack. I wish you a sunny parking spot from now on and I know that feeling of panic when you are lost and your brain is spinning.
Catching up here over coffee today. I can never get my coffee ratio right on vacation. Its good to be back. If I can stay sober after 12 triggering hours in a car I can stay sober today.

Thereās drama everywhere. In some places more than others but that has nothing to do with the sector. Congrats on the new workplace, hereās hoping it will suit you well.

Much like sobriety, my job hunt required sustained effort over time in order to yield positive results. Sent out my CV daily, follow up calls, hours on job boards etc. Even on days when I wanted to lay around and be sad, or angry, I was putting in effort. Itās true that nothing in this life comes free, but itās also true that I have the ability to shape my own future and achieve my goals with patience and determination.
Also not being high and drunk is pretty helpful. In my field my history of substance use is a great subject during interviews. The state is really big on having people with lived experience being in positions that drive policy. And since Iām overseeing some halfway houses and other transitional living residences as part of my role my status as formerly homeless drug user is a marketable skill lol.

Hey @Jules000 i tried to private message you but didnt have the optionā¦having thoughts and feeling a strong urge like you must do something about it kinda sounds a little like ocd. I know you mentioned you have a therapist you may want to discuss with them. I only offer this because while not self harm i can relate to the compulsion. Take it or leave it

Things are going well. I was suppose to exercise this morning but I didnāt because of being so tired when I woke up. I really dont want to set precedent for getting out of good habits. Just got to treat it like a little bump in the road. Will be exercising tomorrow though to make up for it.
