Good morning all...I've been in shock for several days. One day I was working for a company I've been with for 7 years....the next day I was working for another company that I HATE!!! It was a merger of sorts but several of us (including my husband) were told our positions at the our company were eliminated and we are now working for the other company. The change effects duties, retirement, medical insurance, salary, hours.....in short just about everything. I'm coming out of shock this am and feeling damn angry!!!!!
No prior notice, no asking if we would like to work for THE COMPANY FROM HELL....which I guess the first company could ALSO be called the same given the recent actions. The supervisor that "shared" the news to me acted like we were lucky just to have a job!!!!! That's like rubbing salt in a wound....since in a sense anyone who has a job in this economy IS lucky to have a job.
So, I've got my big girl panties on and am looking at other options.
RE: the drinking.....I haven't touched the vodka...that hasn't really been hard. Moderating wine use has not been successful this week. I'm not making excuses.....I'm the one making the choices. I'm not sure I have the strength right now to go AF....I committed to the 30 day AF beginning in Nov...but had hoped to start sooner.
At least my dh and I can support each other as we look at options. We have another part time business which gives us something to keep us going.
I really want to drink today....but will take my supplements, exercise, do the hypnotherapy, and read the Tao of Sobriety which I'm finding helpful. The last 2 days I just sipped wine all day.....for me, after a couple of glasses a switch goes off and I stop thinking about it.
Trying to be AF today, Gaia
