Well at least I know I still have a Higher Power.  I pray about release from my tedious job and lo and behold there is a recruitment campaign for the next grade up.  I really didnt want to leave, just do something more exciting.  I do still have to land this job though, I suppose that is up to me.  I made a good job of the application form, hope I get an interview.
Thats the thing with me, it is mostly my addiction which messed up my education and which means that I am underqualified for the job which would suit my level of intelligence.  So I end up in boring repetitive jobs which don't tax my brain and my addictive thinking goes wild.  I hope this will be a chance to break free of that cycle.
Maybe it is a side effect of step 8 but I want to start putting my life right.  To do something about it instead of running into fantasy and sexual conquest to run away from the bits I don't like.  I have wondered if it is a bit too late.  I should have done this twenty years ago.  By the time I get it sorted there will be no time left to enjoy it.
I know 'Change the things I can, accept the things I can't' 'One day at a time' 'Progress not Perfection.' and oodles of Gratitude. Amen Cara.

Thank you for posting this. I totally identify with what you've written here. My hope is that if I put my recovery first, all other things will fall into place. I will trust HP and do all the foot work. I hope you get your interview. Good luck

Love and Peace

Thanks for sharing. I hope that it is not too late (and I truly believe that it is never too late). I am 54 and just starting to see some (I hope and pray) more consistent victories after fighting in so many ways this beast of addictive behaviors. And God is still faithful. There are still good things in store. Amazing (Grace)!
