Reina Estrella's Journal, 07 September 2007

Everyone's kind words just brought tears to my eyes.I have never found support quite like this. I think about you all everyday! You are MY inspiration.I have a confession to make. I did something kinda drastic today. I QUIT MY JOB. Yes, I just up and quit. My sobriety is more important to me than money and I will get another job quickly. My fiance also works two jobs and he encouraged me to just quit. After much prayer that's exactly what I did today and I feel like a new person. I left with no hard feelings, just people wishing me the best...even if they didn't mean it, it's still nice to leave on even ground. The owner of the restaurant begged me not to go, especially when I told him why...the management's bringing drugs and other substances into the building on their shifts, and assured me it would be taken care of. So I walked out with my head held high and knowing that God can and He will provide for me. Sometimes, I just have to step out on faith. He's brought me this far, surely, He won't leave me now.

It sounds like you've made a good decision. Sometimes you have to do these things to save your sanity. Best of luck in finding a job where you won't be surrounded by drugs and alcohol (I've worked in food service before and it's ALWAYS that way... wonder why?).

Congratulations! Your sobriety is #1. There are other jobs out there, and you will find a way. You don't have anything if you don't take care of yourself.

Congrats. I wonder if getting into a more normal sleep pattern will also help with your weight loss. I know that over the years that i put on the 40 pounds that I am fighting, I was not sleeping well. I had two children and working and I really think the fatigue and stress contributed greatly. I once lost a lot of weight years ago and it was during a time when I was really relaxed and could focus on myself. I think a new job may be a really good thing all the way around.
