Day 228... Chilling

Just hanging out today in South Tampa, not much to report. Next week I will probably substitute teach for the first time. I am scared shitless of the thought of me actually doing this, but I think it will be good for me. It would atleast help me understand if teaching is for me.

I have a couple great meetings lined up for tonight and tomorrow, I love the weekends as that's when I hang out with other alchi's the most. We all go out to dinner and meet up at starbucks. It is so much more fun being sober, I am very grateful for that.

The weather is absolutely stunning today, so I am off to go for a quick jog, and perhaps head on over to the pool. Life is pretty great! ;)

Peace out...

Day 226! Enjoying Unemployment

.Well, it has been a while since my last post! Sorry about that, I find that I have been spending less time on the computer lately.

My job search has been extensive, and kept me extremely busy. Let's see, I have gotten a job offer from a company, as a customer service rep. The pay is less than half of my previous job, but I need something, and need to start my life anew, so I accepted it. That starts on April 30th. In the mean time, I continue to look for other options, but am content and ready to go with the new job.

I am also 2 days from being qualified to substitute teach. This will allow me to do this part time, and see if I like being a teacher! Plus, I can interview in June for teaching positions, if I want to go that route! Very cool.

So all and all, everything is good. Job is lined up... I will probably have to cut spending drastically to make ends meet, but I have a roommate now, and that helps. AA has been a solid rock throughout all of this. I get grounded on a daily basis, and have been very straight forward about asking for emotional support.

Life is good, I am just loving unemployment for now. It is busier than you'd imagine, I have been busy interviewing and taking the substitute teacher training.

I will try to keep yall up to date, but my posts will be fewer, as I no longer have a job where I sit at the computer all day.

Today I am so very grateful for:

Losing my job
AA .
My friends
Family
My two cats
My health
All the opportunities before me
Getting a job offer
And being sober

Sobriety rocks! I love my life today!

Day 214! Last day of work

Today is my last day at the office, er was anyhow. I am home now, and just settling in. Over the last two weeks, not much is new. I had two phone interviews and more job prospects, but I am kinda tired of looking, so I think this week I will take it easy. My new roommate moved in, things are working out pretty good there.

I have been trying to meditate and find that has helped some. I am at peace today.

I have just been so busy in AA and with life in general, I have not had the time to post. I have been journaling however, and that is really good for me too.

Had a friend or two relapse recently, and pray that they get the willingness... I imagine I won't hear from either of them until they do figure out they are powerless.

Well, that's all I've got today.

Peace...
