I quit my job last week, tomorrow is my last bar shift

[NMDemDist2]

I realized the Drama and resentments my coworkers stirred up in me, being in a bar was a slippery place

What I don't need is a 'queer mental blank spot' due to assholes

ya know what I mean?

:hi:

1. Yes I do, AZ Dem!

Good for you!

Drama and resentments around a continuous flow of booze is
very slippery .

You did the right thing is quitting your job there.
I know you will feel much better once you are out of there
for good.

:thumbsup: :hug:

2. I felt better the minute I made the decision and acted on it

tonight will be a skate as the 'Drama Queens' won't be there

:hi:

I've heard too many horror stories of 15-20 year olds forgetting that this disease is cunning and powerful

my sobriety HAS to come first

3. I'm glad you made this decision.

High drama, booze and pent up frustration and anger all mixed up together on a daily
basis would have done me in a long time ago.

Sometimes I go to a bar/restaurant type thing for food if I am with others who choose
it as a place to eat - but as a daily lifestyle, no thanks.

Good for you and best of luck in your new job.

:hug: :hi:

4. thankfully it was only 2 days a week of drama, and only 5 hours a day

and what new job???

:rofl:

I need to find that new job still

[Justpat]

7. Oops.

I don't know why I thought you had another job lined up - but good luck
finding one.


You know, when I was drinking, I was a %$#*ing drama Queen. Now I hate
it. It is such an alcoholic way of life.

9. Hubby's working so I won't starve LOL

but I will get something I'm sure

[FloridaJudy]

5. Good on 'ya

I've gotten to the point where I very rarely crave alcohol any more, and when I do the impulse passes very quickly.

But I'm so bloody grateful there's no booze around when it happens. I still wouldn't trust myself. Fortunately, all my good friends are either in a program themselves, or they're aware that I am and know better than to offer me alcohol or plan to meet in bars.

I know many people in recovery who live with earthlings and keep alcohol in their homes. I'm not there yet, and quite possibly never will be. Maybe I'm not working as strong a program as they are, but as long as it's still working for me I'm not about to tempt fate.

6. I worked in a bar for the first 2 years of sobriety

the booze doesn't bother me

but I know I'm not immune to a momentary lapse especially when in a fragile emotional state

better safe than sorry

8. Your sanity and sobriety are worth far more than the money you get from the job!

You will land much more fulfilling employment. I have a green candle on my altar, I will light it for you tonight.

:hug:
