So I got a job offer today! I’ve been out of work for some time, and the stress from it all has made sobriety harder, to say the least. I’ve messed up because I let the stress get the better of me. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is now that I’ve found a job, hopefully a source of stress has now been alleviated. I still need to figure out good coping mechanisms, but knowing I’m gainfully employed again gives some ease.

Hey hey! @jasharlem, that’s great news. It’s a lot easier to deal with other issues when financial stress isn’t quite so bad. Congratulations and well done for keeping on!

Awesome!! Gratz.
Congratulations! How are things going with your husband?
Thanks everyone! I start Monday. I’m ready. Been out of work too long. Ready to start feeling like a productive person again!
Thanks. Hubby still same-o. He’s been working more to make up for me not working. He’s still using, but not in front of me (except one time). He and I have had more talks about him seeking sobriety too. He hasn’t said he’s gonna do it yet, but at least he’s communicating about it now. Hopefully that’s a step for him in the right direction

Yay! Very good news
It has been so hard! It put me in a low place and always in that “fuck it, I’ll just use” mindset. Such a battle. It will still be a battle, but at least some of the stress that out me in that mindset will be gone.

Word. I’m glad that he’s not using in front of you. Hopefully your own sobriety will help him see the benefits. Way to go!
Great news, congratulations 
Show him the way. Lead by example. You have TS, so you hold the flashlight.
The first rule of flashlights: In the dark, the person with the flashlight is automatically the leader, because they are the only one who can see the way.

Get that money honey
Congratulations for all the success! 
Yea girl, so happy! I know that’s been a huge hurdle for you and I’m glad you can put it behind you. Definately keep looking into some type of program, whatever that may be. For me, I had to have outside people help guide me in the beginning. I have trust issues but I pushed that aside because I needed all the help I could get. Stay strong girl!
