Laid off on Monday and so grateful to be sober

I am so grateful and proud to be sober, particularly this week after getting laid off. When I stopped drinking, I think that part of me hoped that would solve all my problems. I have learned over nearly 600 days that I still have problems, I'm just way better equipped to deal with the problems when they come.

This week was a biggie, and I'm handling it really well. Even in the meeting as my boss and HR rep were reading their scripts, I was able to stop and think - thank goodness I'm not drinking. I can handle this.

Lots of uncertainty this week, part of me is real worried. But I know that I'm better equipped to deal with this now than I was 580-something days ago. Very grateful for the inspiration, support and accountability here in r/stopdrinking. IWNDWYT.
