5 MONTHS IS FABULOUS!!!!!!!

Okay, first a sponsor is there to help you. If she is having personal problems that would keep her from being available she should let you know and encourage you to find another sponsor. Some people have more than one sponsor just in case. Do you have numbers of people in the program?

I'm glad you thought the drink through. I was just telling my hypnotherapist that I have never thought of having a drink, I have always thought of having a drunk so that stops me.

It's just today, try not to project what future employers may or may not think. There are alot of variables about what you say about a job. My company will only tell someone the employment dates of the ex-employee and nothing else. So, you could say you left for any number of reasons. You could say you left to care for someone else - you could say anything. Do what makes you comfortable.

You are a special human being, you do not need a drink to escape from pain, fear, distress, or any other emotion that you are uncomfortable with. Say the serenity prayer, ask your higher power to keep you sober for today, turn the desire over to your higher power and ask him/her to remove the desire from you. Then pray for acceptance that you cannot solve all your problems in one day and that you will take things one day at a time.

As long as you don't pick up a drink you can do anything you want to do!

Tranquility
