Yesterday was a good day. I applied for a job as tech support for various subjects including my favorite, computers. Interviewing was quite a long process ending in a real time test of real problems to solve, but I am sure I aced it. I will find out the results in a few days as the transcripts are reviewed by several people. The only issue is that I was still a little sick so it affected my voice. Hopfully when you call Dell or the like for assistance you will have a chance that I will get the call.
The halfway house I am in is real big about finding a job so you can imagine the look on the house managers face when I wired the entire block for wireless internet and told him I would be working from my room! His response was "No shit, can anyone do that?" and now I may get a side gig teaching computer troubleshooting to the other recovering fellas in the house. I bet I would be the first to convert a halfway house into a help-desk/recovery house..oO!
Last night was the first time using crossed my mind since leaving NLL. Stress was mounting when my wife told my she had a meeting with a divorce attorney about 10 minutes before I had to take my test. It was just a fleeting thought and craving. That sick part of my mind that said this would be a lot easier with a little something to drink. I did not even come close to acting on it but it was a scary reminder that my little demon is still there waiting for a weak moment to take over again. So I did what I was taught and went to a meeting and talked to my sponsor. The demon went to sleep. Thank you Mille, Doug and everyone at NLL for it was your voices I heard saying "Drag your ass to a meeting!". Kind of strange really because it was Doug's saying but Millie's voice in my head. You people brainwashed me!
Talk to ya later!
