Sad but I'm strong enough to handle it

So I shared the other day about my new job, well my background check came back that I have open cases and the company withdrew the offer…but that’s ok. My higher power is doing for me what I can’t do for myself, and I look at it as “Rachel, you haven’t worked in 5 years, maybe jumping right back into a physically demanding job was going to be to overwhelming this early in my recovery” so I filled out more applications, I have an interview Friday :folded_hands:t3:

Cleaning up the wreckage is not a quick process. I know for me, it’s a slow build back. Putting your sobriety first is going to be the best way to accomplish what probably seems like insurmountable obstacles. You seem to have a positive attitude. Stay patient and stay sober. You will be okay. Thanks for posting. :tada::+1::folded_hands::flexed_biceps:

You will get through it . I know it’s hard . I went through the worst year of my life 2023 to 2024 , and lost everything due to alcohol . I thought I was never going to get through it . I went through over 25 interviews , failed multiple back ground checks . 8 months later I found a job I absolutely love . I focused on myself and my sobriety and made that my top priority . I know it seems hard now but it really does make a difference and the rest will fall into place . Keep doing what you’re doing.

Sobriety allows us to feel all types of emotions, giving us a full sense of life we can’t get by being stoned all the time. {How many emotions does a stone feel?}

We can learn to celebrate the full emotional spectrum while enjoying staying straight. Keep on keeping on !!
