Unfortunate wake up calls

Well, I found out about an hour ago that an acquaintance passed away about a week ago. The cause? Addiction.

It saddens me that such a sweet soul was taken out by this awful crap we put in us to numb…and it also strengthens my resolve to get through this day and stay sober!
That and seeing the same guy come into my work at 11am every day to start drinking. Without fail.

I am leaving this job very soon, as it is a major trigger, and I’m miserable.

Yeah…just some thoughts.

It’s as if God itself is tapping me on the shoulder and reminding me of just how fucking bad it can get.

Thanks God.

Sorry to hear @Yogachips. I am glad you are using your sadness to fortify your sobriety. Make your friend proud. :heart:

Sorry to hear about your loss.
How soon will you leave your job? It seems difficult the place were you work right now.

As soon as something comes that I feel aligned with. It would be a simple solution to just walk, but finances need to be taken into account, and in the meantime I can manage the current situation.
