Life get's better
Permalink  
 


As I had posted earlier, I was upset about a job that i was trying to get, but I didnt drink over it. Instead, I prayed and asked God if it was his will to let me get it. Well, today I found out I wasnt going to get it. At first I was upset, then I remembered what I had asked God. As we all know, he always gives us a answer..it's either yes or no. I picked myself up and started looking. Within a hours time...I got hired at a differant place. best part is, it's Monday-Friday. WEEKENDS OFF !!! YEA Man !! 7 am till 4pm. That will give me time to make more meetings !!! Im only 48 years old , and I retired 3 Days before Katrina came to my house for a visit. (I live 5 miles from New Orleans). I was truly blessed because I got my first retirement check a month after the storm. I worked for the same Co. for 30.5 yrs. (started in High School). Anyway, my point is, being so young, I have a chance to start a new life, keeping in mind that I stay sober. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks clean. Im not writing all this to be bragging, Im just saying what I heard years ago. "Good things happen to Drunks that dont drink".
