Quick check in: my self awareness and confidence through the roof, the job is going well, finally separating work and home as that was a issue for me I also like what I do something I didn’t think would ever happen but here I am lol !!
I woke up that I’m so thankful for ,I pampered myself for Valentines,my nails are pretty pink ,my first Valentines I’ll be aware and sober, ohh and some debts I had been so broken over,clearing them up one day at a time

Awww thank you for this wonderful input. Not without flaw this time in recovery has taught me things about myself and the biggest, smallest takeaway is realizing I’m in need of therapy and I’m so thankful to have that self awareness!
I’m still in awe how far I’ve come,for that I’m thankful for & when the new year rolled in it hit me that I still have lots of growing to do and therapy is gonna be apart of that to keep me in alignment with my sobriety, not just the milestones.!!
Today I’m so grateful to be here and that I have a job I have stuck with,the general routine I was lacking for months
Edit/ there are days that feel like day one and when those days happen I take that day to remember to breathe I got this🤎

I made a huge decision to change jobs,no expectations,the job I’m deciding to leave after a month started pretty good, and I earned an income to pay off debts, hopeful on that front no major dents yet but I’m getting there
But I digress this job after a month I felt isolated for bringing up simple issues the major issue having a work life balance and being tired was no excuse for not unloading a truck and getting all the work done before leaving, this expected of 2 or 3 people when they didn’t call in
Today I fell into a job that hired me in and it’s back to housekeeping part time with a work life balance less money but I’m okay because it’s in a lil care home that I can interact wit elders and for whatever reason the person I stay with is pissed because I supposedly won’t be able to afford a car or afford anything. It’s discouraging as a 28 old to live with someone around 50 to talk down to me in that way:upside_down_face: like I’m just hopeful I’ll make a difference in my personal life and others in a positive way but it’s always a factor money wise with him
Blehhhhh over it but One day at a time

I agree, life can definitely be discouraging at times…especially when we have maybe different priorities or perspective than those we live with.
I am glad you are finding jobs…maybe honing in on something you really like. You always keep moving forward and I so admire that.
Always good to hear an update!!!

That sounds like a great change! Hope you enjoy it. That’s a great attitude. It is really rough out there these days with everything getting so expensive. But maybe this is a stepping stone life has a way of working out.

I realized after a year of stressing that it wasn’t helpful so I don’t entirely put stock in money yes it’s helpful but I’m not driven by it especially not anymore life is so short and I rather do something I enjoy rather than continue on unhappy in any capacity and please others to live my life!
Thank you for hearing me and for the compliment
I’m realizing I gotta do what’s best for my well-being rather anyone understands it
