I am meeting a sponsee on my lunch break today. She has 6 months sober and just spent a week in Vegas for a family wedding. She can't imagine why she is now "kinda crazy."
I'm having nonsensical thoughts this morning about calling into work afraid...."I'm afraid I won't make it in today." Calling in blind....."I can't see myself coming into work today." I just want to go buy some more plants because when I find something that day/hour or minute that I like, I just want to keep doing it. That has sort of been like a THEME for me all my life. LOL

I keep playing the lottery... If i win, I too can play in the dirt for a living... Moment by moment...
You're too funny.
As far as making money without working, try inheriting oil & gas royalties from family. That's what I did. It's working so far. And it allows me to pursue my recovery full-time while buying plants often. And then playing in the dirt.
omg!!
When I find something I enjoy, its balls to the walls - all or nothing. There is NO inbetween for this alchy, no moderation whatsoever!!
Ha, uh, ya,, I got ya!
The Vegas thing got me too. I'll have six months May 10th and recently went to Vegas as my husband had business there - ACK!!! I don't gamble (realize if I start, it will become my "new" addiciton) and, duh, I don't drink. It was a test of tolerance and I passed. Nuff said
Last, the "plant" thing reminds me of that movie where the sober dude had to keep a plant alive, then he was ready for a relationship - something to that affect - ha, saw the flick nearly ten years ago while in treatment - amazed I recalled that much of it - :)
My only advice on not working is to do what I do, though it is not very lucrative. I just complted my BS degree and am rolling right into my Masters program - so,,,,,,,,, I'm a professional student.
And poor

wow Pam. that little picture was a God thing for me just now.
How about calling in, but keeping your co workers guessing. "I don't know if I'll make it in today."
I dearly love retirement! I highly recommend it.
I am so glad you are back here!
i've heard that if you do what you love, the money will follow. i'm sure it's probably a process, but i think it's worth a try..talk to your higher power first of course. planting and selling squash at local farmer market?
you'll be great at what ever you do!god don't make no junk...this means u.;-)
could you please do a post on why it is that addicts cannot or will not accept help from parents? everytime we offer help, it never works. i can help others with great success but not my own child. why is that? is it that he is not ready or is it b/c we are the parents?
