Short and not so sweet...
Posted On: 12/02/2008 22:03:55

Hey friends in recovery,
I am asking for some help- not easy for me.
I have a big change that will be happening shortly in my life- I am losing my dream job.  I was told Nov. 28 that my position would not longer exsist.  I am so sad.  I am greiving I know but I want to have faith that when God closes a door a window will open.
I have already reached out to a few of you here who know a little more about me and I thank you for all the encouragement. 
Tonight I am feeling the pain physically in my body-soreness which is a sign of my sadness I have learned in my recovery time.  It can be very difficult for me to stay in my sadness-it is the hardest feeling for me to allow to just "BE".
What I am asking for are prayers for peace, comfort and trust in my heart.
The good thing tody is that I am aware of my feelings and can express/identify them.  Before when I was drinking every feeling was either anger or happiness- no in between.
With graditude,
Karie
PS I now will call my sponser....

Karie, what you describe about sadness or grief manifesting as physical pain is something that I can relate to. But it saddens me that you are going through this. You are a beautiful lady and you don't deserve it. I hope that you will see a window in your sadness, maybe to take some time out for YOU and treat yourself to something that maybe you had been putting off doing because of  work committments... I also hope that you can find(or work towards) a new dream job as soon as you are ready to...I imagine that it's a particularly difficult time of the year to have received this news.. But it also means that 2009 will truly be a new year with some new beginnings for you. 
In the meantime the best we can do is to go back to basics and take things one day at a time when life is challenging and it's hard to trust what is happening.. You are in my thoughts(and prayers).
hugs,
G

Karrie: you are a person who has given me great insight through this site. I am sorry to learn about your job. You are a lady of action, and when you set a goal of what your next chapter will be in work life, you'll get there.

I'll add my prayers and you have any support I can give you. I don't know what your dream job is, but I have a good Western business network if it can be of use to you!

luv

sorry about the job! I've heard quite a bit of that going around-

I hate job hunting anyway- always keeping my ears and eyes open...

Best-of -it-all, Nia

Good job for sitting thru the feelings & reaching out for help & working on it. It seems "easier" to immediately numb or escape it... but in the end- its 23948234x worse, as u already know. Keep it up =]

Karie -
     That physically washed out, tired-to-the-bone crap all over feeling. Knowing that it will pass (like all other things) is small comfort. He never closes a door without another door to open, and I know that you'll see it and go through. Me and mine to you and yours... 
YFIR,
Dennis
