A NEW ADVENTURE......
I'm starting on a new adventure after the first of the year. I'm going to go to school, & see about training for some kind of job. I don't know what yet, but there's a place called Skill Source that has all kinds of programs, including Sr. programs for going back into the work force, I think I would qualify for a displaced worker. I can't physically do the kind of work I did before, & I am lacking in computer, or office skills. It's scary, but exciting, I'm ready. I was unable to work for a number of years due to disability. I went there a few years ago & got my GED. I was taking office skills, but had to quit to take care of my brother, who was dying from alcoholism, & the grief I went thru was totally disabling, I got into such a depression, I couldn't function. So, I'm ok, & more balanced now, & feel I can do this. It certainly is worh a try. The staff at Skill Source are good at what they do, & are very upbeat, positive people, & make learning fun. I'm looking forward to this, it's time for a change in my life, & this will be a good one. I can get thru any fear I have about it, & I have encouragemenet. Of course I will keep my recovery first, this is another stage in it, another level. Learning new stuff is always a good choice. I want to wait till after the holidays tho, it gets so hectic this time of year, or do I make it that way? I will keep you tuned in on this new adventure, wish me luck, I'm sure I could use it. I'm on my way to a meeting now. Take care

Too COOL my friend! I really admire people who go back to school later in life ( I mean, not as a kid!). Thanks for being a good friend and checking on me, it has really meant a lot to know that someone cares! Oh, and TAG- your IT!
that's wonderful! sounds like a good plan!
oh i do still get drinking dreams. a lot less now though! the last one woke me up it was so powerful. and when i fell asleep i carried on dreaming the same one! i had to get up and was mentally going through my day to make sure i didn't drink that day! fortunately, they say they are healing dreams, but still, need them i don't!
Good for you Sharon. I know several people who have gone back to school and are really enjoying it. Go for it!
FABULOUS!!
You may be able to find all sorts of things that intrigue you.
Thats great news Shadow, if you just take it one step at a time, I remember when I got made redundant, it was a long slow process getting back on the road to working again but I just took it in small steps, the only thing I didnt do comppletely was quit drinking and I nearly lost the next job I got as a result.
I wish you the best of Luck Sharron
That is really exciting! I love when people step outside the comfort zone to grow. In any way. You will grow from this in soooo many great ways. I wish you all the best.
