One of the many things that made me realize I had hit rock bottom was losing my job in March. I was fortunate enough to have a number of job offers because of the DWI arrest (another reason I knew my life had spun out of control). I was afraid background checks would disqualify me for any job and it did for a number.
Anyway, I chose this job because I think it will help me as I go through the early "getting a handle on my recovery". The hours are M-F 9-4 and Friday's 9-noon. I'm no longer the head of the organization and can focus on projects which is what I like and works well with BP. I have a feeling my success in my profession is due to hypomania because the projects ebbs and flows. I have also worked for my boss before and have tremendous respect for him. He allows generous use of remote access working and since the job won't have me around as much alcohol. At this time I'm trying to stay completely away from it. I also think it will allow me to focus on repairing my marriage. I won't be traveling nearly as much as I have been for the pas nine years. There will be some but not the constant in and out. We will be moving from one city where I discovered that but two people from my large group of "friends" were really friends. Everyone else was using me for my position in the community. I'm returning to a city where I have a group of true friends. We've remained friends since I moved and some of them have been long term friends. I just returned from a second vacation with one of them. Plus, we will be close to one of my daughters. Hopefully, this will help work on my relationship with her. I'm sacrificing a lot by taking this job over the two other ones. I mourned that loss and had a good cathartic cry over this but am now focused on the long time benefits this will bring. So, wish me luck. If you are person a prayer please pray that I've made the right decision based on those listed above. |
