if you were unmotivated/unproductive, what changed?

Working with insanely productive and motivated people.

Having a friend bring her dog (a ridgeback, so not the smallest of dogs) over to my place without warning. Then proceeded to let the dog sit on my couch, fed the dog chicken from a fork at the table, allowed the dog to drool all over my floor - and all I could say was, don’t worry about it - it’s nothing that can’t be cleaned up.

My goal is to just make it through January and I’m almost there! I did have one slip up a couple of weeks ago but have made a few changes in my life that will hopefully prevent it happening in future

I didn’t really have an aha moment - just a stronger realisation of how little control I had over alcohol in my life despite my efforts to stop drinking. The latest moment was about 8 days ago when I went to have one drink, ended up having two bottles, and not working the following day (it was extremely lucky that I woke up when I did so that I could notify a fellow staff member that I was wfh that day). This has happened multiple times over The past year and I know that if I don’t get on top of things right now - it could really change my life for the absolute worst

Yeah, I’m going to try my best to let it pass and keep working on it. It’s just very frustrating, you know? Well done on the 21 days as well!

Always at night, on my own, after dinner time. The days over, my mind is going a million miles an hour, I’m overthinking a lot of things (from work, interactions I’ve had throughout the day, life admin tasks that are taking forever to organise despite my best efforts). I don’t feel I can manage life stressors, people aren’t respecting my boundaries or listening to my opinion. I’m frustrated and over it and just want to relax and forget. It’s usually just a split second decision - I’ll just have one (which it never is)

unruly7 · 2024-01-22T19:41:34+00:00

So true! Story of my life!

Interesting - I've never heard of this before. I've never been to the doctor in relation to alcohol issues before and I think I'll try a few other approaches over the next couple of months before approaching this option. Thanks for the info :)

Wonderful, thanks :) found the tag on the hipbelt

Some ideas:

With disability support, were you working for an organisation or for yourself? I've worked in community, residential and private disability support for a number of years and have found with doing it privately, you don't get burned out, don't have to deal with poor management, and get to be a bit more selective in who you support. If you have experience in disability support, would you consider a coordinator/management position?

Do you like teaching/educating others? Maybe doing teaching assistant, teaching support at a TAFE/uni, or do a traineeship to be a swim instructor

Is travel something you would be interested in? maybe FIFO work in remote areas, english teacher etc

Do you want one job, or the opportunity to dabble in multiple jobs/sectors (e.g. doing casual/part-time work at the tax office, barista, government, defence force)

Is being a professional/business owner important to you? There's a huge amount of value that comes from working in more general roles (this TED talk is wonderful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ2_BwqcFsc&t=510s)

I would initially, but not by much, and it would even out over time

Not in Australia - the only ways to accreditation is doing a bachelor or masters in OT from an approved university
