Stepping out on a solid 3rd/11th Step my wife and I are officially unemployed as we resigned(WE believe that the God of our understand will take care of the results from the decision we prayed on and made)We are excited to start a new chapter in our lives,I am looking forward to pursuing many things that got sidelined early on in my 25 years of active devastation and drug addiction.Today ,My eyes were opened and I truly felt so much gratitude,grace and mercy.Jaelyns 1st birthday party tomorrow with all family (40 plus)coming to share the day with us,then we are ready to fill our 2nd POD for movement to Southern Florida.I am anxious to meet ne faces,new fellowship and become part of the Mid Coast Chapter of NA..I'm on Bandmix already pursuing a more full time position as an active working musician and drummer in the churches Praise and Worship Band.Living LIFE,guided by God and the NA way has afforded me so many different opportunities after many years where all looked hopeless and dim.Lost dreams awaken and new possibilitiesarise,not just a nice saying but based on the evidence a reality for this old hardhead....Our message,truly is Hope and our promise is Freedom from active addiction,a day at a time,with application of our spiritual principles in all our affairs...Man think I'm gonna sleep again tomorrow till 7:45 again,just for the heck of it! (course my yes still pop open at 5;30 anyway,might be a senior thing......It works if you work,no doubt in my military mind.......Peace,Have a blessed and productive day!

Oh, FWIW I've been officially unemployed for 7 (or is it 8 ) years now. Owning and running your own businesses doesn't count in the statistics, though you most certainly work more!

Mike bro,,
All my life ive been self employed.
Sometimes, i felt maybe an employed Raman would have made it big but thats fancy.
Reality is that ive been ok,, God saw to it.
Like it says, the best years of our life still lies ahead.
Thanks for being in my recovery,,,,

Best wishes on your journey... oh and thanks! Why you ask? Because I 'unexpectedly' found myself unemplyed last week and needed to hear your positive words!! Technically it was supposed to be at the end of this week but considering they gave me only two weeks notice and are unoffically not keeping their 'traditional' promise to keep me on until the end of June, I didn't feel one iota of guilt cutting out early. That being said, I'm not stressing too much about it... I'm looking at it as an opportunity to deal with my son who is going into the psychiatric system after a trip to the ER a couple weeks ago.
Peace out, kd
