Soooo thankful!!!

After 17 years of hard floor nursing, I burned out. Furiously!!! Bottles and bottles of wine and bottles of ambien saw me off to rehab. Since then, I went back to work as a nurse but within 2 months I quit. My grandson passed away and I then relapsed. Now, a year later, I work part-time at a library. It is heaven! My husband would like for me to go back into nursing, but the thought of that makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I applied for a telemetry monitor tech/unit secretary. And I prayed about it. I was really nervous because it would be shift work and nights and OH MY GOD!!! I was getting anxious just thinking about it. I am happy to report that I did not get the job. I think God wants me to be right where I am for now. Oh sure, my ego took a hit. But in my heart I am so relieved! I am still in recovery. I still fight urges to drink and to go back to the stress that helped drive my addiction would be suicide. God doing for me what I could not do for myself.
