Day 4

I'm changing my job next Tuesday which will make me work in the city. There will be more opportunities to do some things for my life. I'll try to tweak the recovery plan and make it better.

I've said this before but I really need some streak these days. I can't be a zombie at this new job. I need to feel some energy and mood. PMO won't give me none of those. Fuck P. Tuesday will be day 7. Things should start feeling a little better by then. I'm dealing with some anxiety for changing jobs. New environment, new faces.

Congrats on the job switch! All the anxiety that comes with it is very normal and to be expected. What are you doing to take care of yourself? Sometimes, I feel like I just have to tough it out and do all the normal things while feeling anxious and miserable, but that's a recipe for relapse. Don't forget to take some time to slow down and let some of that anxiety out so that it doesn't turn into urges.

Keep it up!

Day 6

I had to wake up early and I was really tired for a few hours but around 10 AM I started to see more clearly. Tomorrow, I will wake up early again. I have to deliver the papers and be hired at this new job then go to their doctor for medical tests.

Urges are not present at all. I don't feel energized and I'm dealing with some anxiety. I think I need at least one more week to feel more energy and less anxiety. I haven't drunk in a week and I don't plan to but I have moments when my mind wonders to "Man, let's have some fun!" I don't need any obstacles right now, this job is important to me. I've been waiting for it for 3 freaking years and before that I invested a lot of energy in getting it. I cannot sabotage myself with drinking and PMO binges. I don't need to be a zombie. I made the mistake to PMO last Tuesday and on the same day I found out I was going to be hired. It sucks, man. I need at least 2 weeks to be in a better state of mind for such things. Shit. But anyway, at least I will have 1 week, it could've been worse, it could've been just 1 day. I guess that's how my mind works. It's also a psychological thing when I reach "that number of days". I automatically start feeling better.

One last thing I want to say: P is the opposite of living. You cannot be at your maximum potential and invested in P at the same time. You have to choose one. I choose life. I choose this job, I choose the attempt to make some friends, I choose some hobbies that I want to start. P is like a stone that is tied to your leg when you walk.

Nice work on the job Lero.  Focus on the positive, prepare well for your new work responsibilities and you'll do great.  You're right, what you do or don't do while off the job affects how you perform on the job.
