@alpine_1975 - here’s hoping your doing well.
One day at a time? We are all mortal and fragile. You and your husband can only do what you can with the energy and physical capacity you have. I hope his time off really gives him the time he needs to get healthy and plan his next moves.
I know the stress of a threatened move. My home is threatened by the city perhaps making my neighborhood unlivable. I cry about it sometimes. My neighbours and I are working on political action and lawsuits. It’s tiring.
That one lesson of AA applies to me here. Always acceptance. We might win, we might influence the election, we might not and either way I might have to move. My only choice is to accept it. So I grieve for the happy times I planned in the garden which I just finished last year and then move on to the next task. I am not religious but I think prayer must be much like acceptance. Acceptance involves building faith that you will get through this. You can handle it.
In these troubles I hope you find some relaxation options that don’t keep you tied to alcohol and its added problems.

Hey, thanks for checking in, I’m OK, still sober which is great but it’s been a tough couple of weeks. Got fired from my job, apparently you can’t tell customers to “have a really nice fucking day” who knew 
. There were a couple of times since then I’ve really craved getting wasted but they passed fairly quickly, just boredom now until I start back at my old job in a week or so. Anyway, appreciate the love being spread again on Talking Sober, stay safe ️

No Chris you sure can’t 
Awww @Mobius sorry you’re hitting a rough patch. Really glad you have another job waiting & you’re not reaching for a drink. Get to the reason behind your crankiness & the next job will go more smoothly. Use this time to invest in your sobriety ️ Hugs

You can, if you are willing to accept the consequences. There is nothing that I cannot say to my customers, rather things I choose not to say, because the consequences are higher than the satisfaction I would get, by speaking my mind. I learned this in the Marines.
You’d be amazed at how much you can see, in the light of a burning bridge.
This applies to marriage, and life in general.
Still, glad this is more of a break, than a period of long unemployment.

You’re absolutely right, it’s just accepting consequences for actions, I’m more annoyed at myself for not being able to control my temper in those situations. Got my first Krav Maga lesson next week, I’m not expecting any deep philosophy from it but I’m hoping I might learn something about the way I handle certain situations.
