Bullseye!

After countless online applications and crappy interviews. I finally got a job today. I hope i'll look good in a red polo and khaki's. I'll post a photo after my first day.

I'm celebrating by not drinking, also taking my kids to watch the fireworks for Pioneer Day here in Salt Lake City.

Hey i was just wondering why you gave up alchol xxx

Avatar

I gave up alcohol because it wasn’t making me happy. It stopped working. Instead of making me happy it made me sad and alone. Alcohol was going to kill me and I’m not ready to die. Plain and simple.

I gave it up because it was killing me, kidney's shutting down, liver half fried, sick for the last 2 years of my drinking. A fifth a day is not healthy. Nor cheap to afford. I was dying and knew it.

I haven't been on much.

I recently moved to SLC,Ut. Wow I'm not in Kansas anymore, literally.

I have 3 years and 4 months sobriety and I've never felt like drinking or getting high until a few days ago.

I'm flat broke, in debt up to my eyeballs, struggling to hold onto not losing it with my wife.

She works that's why were here.

I can't get a job. I go to meetings every other day sometimes twice.

I'm Hungry Angry Lonely and Tired. HALT!

Just one person could make me feel better.

I went through and thanked all the bloggers i follow for my sobriety today. You all really do matter to me..

So I wanted to start a thing where we write 3 positive things about our days, and then tag some others to do the same!

So my positive things about the 30th June are:

- I did something despite being scared to - I wore my new skirt and felt pretty in it - It was sunny all day!

I tag:

Thanks Hannah ! My three positives for today are:

1. I walked 3 miles

2. I get to see my boyfriend in 2 days

3. I’m sober

Here are my tags:

My three are;

I started my new job today.

I enjoy walking my dog in the morning.

I recently moved to SLC,Ut. Been here 2 weeks and a day. I still haven't been to a meeting here. I've been using the blogs as my recovery place. I have music I can listen to and a lot of blogs to read.

Two of my favorites are cupcakes and unicorns. and joshy in georgia.

There's several more but I can connect with them and how their feeling. I've liked several different blog postings and have reblogged a time or two.

Back to my problem my old mind is telling me this is fine you'll get by. I'e been on aa.org and looked up meetings but i keep finding EXCUSES not to go.

Someone, anyone tell me what I need to hear. Does anyone know of a really good meeting in SLC,UT. or close by?
