So I worked 2 shifts yesterday, only got 5 hours of sleep and missed my meeting. I'm thinking that its pretty unsustainable. Note to self: you can't really put a dollar sign on free time, health, and meetings, even if that dollar sign is time and a half...
I have a friend with many years in the program who just recently started a 2nd full time job. I saw him at a meeting this weekend and he says "it's not all about money, sobriety is more important."
I am still early in my sobriety and I know I couldn't deal with life without the meetings. Meetings are our lifeline. I have to maintain some kind of balance otherwise I'm going to experience negative consequences like depression, thoughts about drinking, and that horrible hopeless, helpless state of mind that leads to the next drink.
Hope you can figure out what the best plan of action is for yourself.
