can recover in this program on an equal basis, it is my job to allow them to find any and all the identification they need, to realize that fact for themselves. when i came to the rooms, there were lots of folks who looked like me, but were far from the type i would choose to use with, on any sort of regular basis. my problem was that i was “cross-fellowshipping,” and was doing my very best to prevent myself from truly identifying with either the addicts or the alcoholics with whom i was sharing the rooms. desperation changed that and these days i do my best to let the new members find what they can to identify with me, a convicted felon, and older than average college graduate and someone who does their best to defer making any sort of commitment. folks like me, who were in their forties and in the rooms because of the “nudge from the judge,” very seldomly stick around. i may not look like one, but i know i am a unicorn when it comes to that demographic.
the irony here is that even after a minute clean and coming up on another clean date anniversary, i am more than grateful that i got my ass condemned to recovery by the justice system and my stubborn self, became willing enough to accept that is where i really did belong. when i consider the alternative, i am truly dumbfounded by what i have today, because i found what i needed to stay and i accept it is my mission to give that away to those who are coming into the rooms today.
this morning, i found out that the code assessment i worked on for several hours yesterday was part of a scam. dang it all, i could have been more productive, but i get to keep my work and it works as a great web-scraper. i do not know what is happening with the quality of the jobs in Zip Recruiter, but it is the third time i have applied for a scam job. i cannot figure out what this scammer wants to get from me and i really do not care as i sent them a big 🖕 in my reply. after that lost day, i think i will close this down and do what i can to make up the time i missed yesterday. it is after all a new day and there may actually be an opportunity out there for me.
