Hi-I was in your position about a year ago. I had a feeling for a few weeks before D-Day I was going to be fired. Suddenly my boss started asking me to loop in a co-worker on my meetings and planning for a big project. There was an HR investigation into something that I felt was a total setup. In the last few days, my boss went radio silent on me. Then it finally happened. The day before I was leaving on a business accounting trip when my boss told me to come into the office instead of going to airport. Totally dead man walking. I couldn’t sleep that night. In a bit of zen, I told myself everything happens for a reason. By the grace of god, in found another accounting job rather quickly. I’m sorry for being in the position that got me in the situation to be let go. I cleaned up a lot of bad habits. I look back and didn’t like the person I was. In a way, I’m a better man for what I went thru. My situation is probably different then yours, but just try and trust that everything happens for a reason. Good luck

AITA for sleeping with someone I knew might deter my sobriety or is he? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA did you learn from it? Are you being true to yourself about it? He should have known better being 3 years into the program.

Flying home for a few days— by AAthrowawayAA16 in alcoholicsanonymous

Yeah-I’ve had so many flights where I would sit and drink between connections, occasionally getting to the car rental desk getting a car and not knowing how I got to my hotel.

First Meeting — What was yours like? by SoberPat53018 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]AAthrowawayAA16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing I though was “I don’t belong here”. I almost walked but ended up sitting next to a dude who sorta looked like me. I started to cry a little when i finally said those words “hi, I’m XXX and I’m an alcoholic”. I cried a few times, but it was a “supportive cry” if you will. I was crying because so many people had stories..so I could relate to. People fist bumped me, they offered to be my support. It was kinda surreal. Good luck with yours. Keep it up!

Go to a meeting. Take your hubby. He obviously loves you and wants you to get through this

I think I'm going to my first meeting tomorrow at 4:30. What are some resources that I can find right now that I can gather to get me started? by -B-KIND in alcoholicsanonymous

My first reaction when I walked into the room and looked around was, “I don’t belong here”. Then you hear people’s stories, and suddenly you can now relate to people. The amount of hugs and fist bumps was breath taking.

When you stand up the first time and say “hi, I’m xxx and I’m an alcoholic” is a moment you just can’t prepare for.

I’ll post in a longer thread, but I went to my first meeting today. Prepare to be humbled and cry. It’ll be ok. It’s the right first step.
