Don't do it my way

I stopped drinking in November last year. Just as dad told me he was dying. I had no defence just started drinking. A friend had tried to get me to admit my problem so luckily I was conscious and stopped and have been working my recovery since then.

Given emotional turmoil is a trigger for many, definitely for me, the advice early on is to not emotionally stress yourself.

I started dating a new guy almost immediately - not advised.
Dad passed away - unfortunate.
I have to deal with a lot of his estate as my brother moved back to California - not advised.
Now I'm changing job - not advised!

But my company is closing my branch and I happen to be offered another job.

But if you're looking at early recovery. Don't do it my way.

A new job opens up a lot of possibilities. Including developing new skills.

It’s great that you have been offered one. This shows you are capable and valued.

From what you have told me you seem to be coping so far. I hope it continues that way.

Don't drink. Go to meetings. The rest will follow.

Thats great that you recognised it and despite the problems thrown at you, you have still managed to come out the other side
I'm here for emotional support if you need it.
I'm praying for you, my friend.
Most people couldn't handle what you're going through all at the same time.
I think you're exceptional!!
