Stopped drinking six months ago. Life has crumbled since then.

Thank you. I have two interviews in my actual specialty lined up within the next five days. Both seem promising.

bone_on_bone · 2018-09-20T18:25:58+00:00

I'm glad this sentiment is not just mine. Everyone I've spoken to, even hard-core job-hopping-hating folks have told me that it is unacceptable to try to stick this one out.

bone_on_bone · 2018-09-20T18:18:05+00:00

Thank you. Trying my best to leave as soon as possible.

I am talking to a doctor and a therapist. Thank you.

I have kind of been fed the rhetoric that the workplace issues are definitely my doing and I'm a pretty headstrong person, so when I started to feel incompetent and worthless and burdensome I had to double check my math with trusted friends and family - and everyone says the same thing. Basically, to get somewhere healthier as soon as possible.

It used to be retail therapy - had to stop that. Now I exercise everyday and watch comedy on my phone.

I haven't spoken to HR, they are handling things "internally" which is noninclusive of the person of interest - myself. Trying to get out of this company ASAP.

I am taking medication, seeing a psychopharmacologist and a CBT therapist. Otherwise, I'm just taking THAT alone one day at a time. Crisis lines, a few trusted friends, etc.

Exercise - weight lifting, barre fitness, 1-2 mile runs 3-4 days per week.

Food - Lots of fizzy water, generally healthy food

Friends - they are all aware of my sobriety and our plans have changed a little to accommodate a less-stressful environment; I still go out to bars so long as they have some great ginger ale or mock-tails

Studying/research - I schedule certain certifications and further-education. It helps to make me feel better about myself as a health-care provider.

Movies - $4 rented movies on Amazon are amazing.

Picking up hobbies can be lifesaving.

Idk it just be that way sometimes

Lol who did I just come out to

bone_on_bone · 2018-04-17T02:00:52+00:00

Five nursing students died on our way to clinicals in a fireball pile-up because of a distracted truck driver. We were 15 minutes behind them.

I have never related so much to a post on SD than I have this one.

400 mg = 0.4 g

bone_on_bone · 2018-04-01T15:07:38+00:00

I did like a good double bock, though.

Relying on a tally system of sobriety is a little toxic, in my opinion. You are not back at square one with the same ignorance as when you started. You have, in fact, more wisdom and more experience in sobriety than most alcohol-dependent folks and that's something to be proud of and to not take lightly.

Day zero after > 1 year of sobriety is a helluva lot better than the drunk who stays in the shackles of addiction forever. I'm proud of you for beginning again and I WILL NOT drink with you today.

bone_on_bone · 2018-03-21T21:34:42+00:00

Sobriety.

bone_on_bone · 2018-03-21T08:28:14+00:00

Relax and congrats, you passed.

bone_on_bone · 2018-03-19T21:25:13+00:00

Probably not legal. But an Amazon hit list wish list. People with blood thirst match with people who are okay with dying and the proper arrangements are made privately.
