Job hunting is the worst. I just want a 9-5 at $45k with health insurance and 401k and nobody wants to call me back. Give up, apply for restaurant management positions, 6 interviews and 4 offers in one week. Get a degree, y'all.
Hot-Mess Express, Checking In
I left the company I’ve been with for six years. The past few months I’ve been working for a new company. We’re opening a new restaurant this weekend. Pray for me!
Dear Precious Folks In My Life,
Stop leaving. Stop leaving suddenly. Please reach out for help. My heart breaks for you. I’m always here for you.
Alex, I’m so sad you left and I hope you found peace.
I drank.
My cousin invited himself and his girlfriend over last night. He said she had to work early so they wouldn’t be over too late. I thought I could do will with drinking a little. I decided to pour light and drink only three drinks for the evening. Well, they came over and we had a blast. I drank twice as much as I anticipated, they stayed until “bar close”, I felt guilty all night about breaking my sobriety streak, threw up when they left, and woke up feeling like shit. Drinking is not something I can handle. This is seriously a slap in the face, and I’m going to be in a couple of situations coming up where I know I will drink with colleagues and I don’t know how to handle this.
Sobriety is a pain
I have not had a drop of alcohol in 35 days. AA is terrifying and this “higher power” business keeps me from working the steps. I feel physically better but emotionally detached from everything. A job I loved repulses me and I hate every company who doesn’t want to hire me. I have not had friends, only drinking buddies and I feel so alone. I’m tired of being asked when I’m going to start drinking again. ISO contentment.
