I have an interview Monday morning about a job that I can possibly transfer to. I am running of time off and desperately need to move into a job that allows me to continue to having an income. My employer has offered me the stuff to get short term disability started. I and my family can make it for a couple of months on short term but it is "short" term.
I am very scared about the employment situation and need your prayers.
Being in the medical field and dealing with the vicodin is very serious.
That is the magic of recovery, after admitting you powerless and turning to you Higher Power for help anything is possible. Keep on your recovery path, and the other things will work themselves out. Opportunities will appear that you never considered. Being a whole person is paramount, everything else is just the details.....

hey man, There are situations in life where honesty and straightforwardness is our best option . For an addict in recovery it can be our only option. While dealing with life on life's terms , It's best to " keep it simple " . You have done all you can to try to make yourself better. You have made a decision to get clean. Before that you realized you had a problem. Those two things alone are miracles not to be taken lightly . You came out to your family , That's tough to do.. Your embracing a program that's been proven to work if you work it . At this point in your recovery we can only pray . Have faith that all that happens , happens for a reason. Turn this over and trust in HP to get you through. We don't know what HP will bring us . We do know however that it will be for the best. Its a scary time for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Best of luck and KEEP COMING BACK AnthonyG

Dean told me 2 weeks ago to pray for work I NEVER pray for work I usually just turn it over and let my higher power work it in his time, but I tried it and I got SWAMPED with work all of the sudden almost more then I can do its very strange indeed.
I will also put in a prayer request for you just keep your nose clean and do the next indicated things make recovery first without it eventually you won't have a pot to piss in so that needs to be #1 and when it is miraculous things happen.

LOL Dean I was hoping you'd see that, I met a couple of Realestate guys just in the last week and have gotten one big job from one guya and a smaller jon and waiting on the bigger one to get signed , these are 2 very good contacts they both do a little of everything and know a lot of somebodys :)
Hey imiken I always pray for everyones well being here sometimes someone will ask for something specific I say just pray for everyones Serenity and sanity
Did not get job. However not because I was not a qualified applicant. I am, am on the list as one of the serious candidates. No one has gotten the job. It is in the collect applicants internally phase. The job is not going to be filled until January.
So I am taking personal leave, FMLA, with short term disability. Will make up difference in salary with savings. Have short term disability for 6 months with health insurance for 14 weeks. If not back to full time by 14 weeks from now, and should be, can be added to my wife's insurance.
Thanks. I am glad to have the "no" at this time. For me the many variables needing to be cleared up, those unknowns were as unsettling as facing the vicodin issue. I am more than happy and willing to do what I gotta do. I get it. Gotta do it. At least IF I want this recovery thing to be effective. I can of course always dig up a vicodin somehow. Not going to of course.
It was the not knowing that was stirring stuff up in terms of what that "gotta do" looked liked for now. IF the job was offered, that meant I'd have to do this thing a certain way. Not having the job offer meant doing it a different way. I wanted to just DO IT. I wanted to get going. I felt like one of those horses in the starting gate that wants to run but the gate is keeping them pinned in and as a result the horse is quite edgy. Now that I know I don't have a job opportunity, the path became clear and I'm off and running. Now as long as I don't poop in the street and start eating hay, I think I'm good to go........
