Thank you for the hope and the practical ideas. It's heartening to hear about your friend.

Emotionally? I am up and down. I am several months sober which makes this easier in some ways and harder in others. I do feel exhausted as at least one of my kids wakes up during the night every single night. A bit overwhelmed at the magnitude of it all. But generally okay. I focus on the things I can do - entertain my kids, keep a schedule, chores, apply for jobs, chat with girlfriends - and try to do them consistently and happily. [/quote]

Congrats on your sobriety!  And honestly, you’ve had a lot happening while still being a new(ish) mom to 2 kids- I think you’re doing the best you can, and are trying to be responsible about what’s best for the kids.  I don’t know what type of work you do, but do you think you’ll be able to find a better paying job in the next 1-2 months?  Longer?  I’d base some of my decision on that.  Ca you do any consulting on the side until you get a full time job?  [/quote]
