As yo uall know I've been swallowed up in the A''s mess all summer long. This coming Monday I have a telephone interview for a job. I have just started applying. I am still looking for a 2nd job but I am also looking for a better full time job. I am so happy I have an interview it is a milepost in that I am taking care of me rather than either completely obliterated by his actions or swallowed up in obsessing about whehter he is alive or dead.

I know I have to do much much much more footwork but I'm hapy to be moving in a different direction at last!

Maresie.

You go girl! I like to think, "If I continue to look at the hole someone else is digging, then I am likely to slip and fall into the hole. Today I will choose to look up instead of down.

I had the same thought. Time to start looking for another job. You sound so hopeful. I was thinking that I know that I am getting better. Keep us posted.

In support,
Nancy

Ahhhh that feels good.  A spiritual boost.  Thanks for your sharing your choice making and the reason you are doing it.   Self care from within the disease of alcoholism....what a concept.  If you need more boost and support, come back in.  We'll be ready.

(((((hugs)))))

Good luck to you, Maresie! In the short time I have been on this board, you have come a long way. You should be very proud of yourself!

Blessings,
Lou
