274 sobriety
275 getting through a job hunt induced desire to drink without drinking.
276 knitting classes because they help distract me.
277 PC & BUS because I can talk about my fears.
278 The outplacement agency - becasue even though their advice scares me, it at least gives me some direction in my job hunt.
279. Realizing just how down my mood has been and recognizing that I need to take action to correct that.
280. My Sat.am women's mtg is tomorrow.

294. The wonderful speaker meeting I finally made it to after work last night. It was an adjustment going to a new meeting, but I'm sooooo glad I did.
295. My job and the wonderful opportunties I have to help others and be of service.
296. The caregiver of an elderly patient today, who had a hard time watching the patient have a crash....my medical training kicked in and I stayed calm, and was able to support the caregiver, who is pregnant and got very scared. When I helped take the patient to the car, the caregiver hugged me. Its moments like those I wouldn't have appreciated or even been present for, while drinking.
297. Its FRIDAY!
298. Chocolate soy milk
