"Im glad you are going to try that new job. But make sure that you are only going to "try. If you approach the project in the attitude that 'I must suceed, I must not fail, I cannot fail,' then you practically guarantee the flop which in turn will guarantee a drinking relapse. But if you look at the venture as a constructive experiment only, then all should go well."

This is very helpful to me today because I start my new job tomorrow. Im feeling a little apprehensive because its something new and I've never done this type of Nursing before! Ive had a lot of insight from my HP thru others at meetings and am prepared mentally for the challenge ahead. Recognizing the "old habits" of drinking because you're stressed or purely out of habit have been addressed.
I guess I didnt think of the pressure I will most likely place upon myself to "succeed!"  Glad I ran across this reading! The best I can do , for me, is God's will.  Lani
