i gotta go back to work...what i am learning from this program and from other programs has led me to a place of financial insecurity in a positive way
i have been up and down financially most of my life..from times have having much money in the bank to other times of living out of my car and scrounging for change
this may be a bit off topic but i gotta share
right now i find myself in a financially desperate situation and have a job waiting and ready for me at any time i want
a company which i partially own with my mother..a company i have resisted for years upon years...a company i have participated off and on in since i was nine years old
a company which ..for me..holds reminents of my past from abuse..drug and alcohol addiction to money problems and serious family difunction issues..but i find myself in a place where i may be going back into this company out of pure desperation financially
not that is all that bad..but i have been living such a diffwerent and abusive lifestyle for so long i think i am just scared and in shock right now
bills need to be paid and the thousands of dollars owed to me by different addicts and scammers will never come my way..and my days of hocking things and scaming things seem to be over
and it leaves me in a pure situation which is...time to grow up and take responsibility and control of my life..
and i aient ready...but i think it must be done
not as bad as i think ...i am projecting a lot of negative feelings and vibes to this
but i need money and i need it fast..phone bill..electric bil..car payments..food ..shelter etc etc
i have spent so much money on drugs and woman who have been in my life
my life has never been all that extravagant..but the waste of my resources in sheltering and feeding others..besides myself..piuts me in this situation now
wish me luck..feel like i need it
sometimes i guess things got to fall apart before they can get better>>???
Many of us have financial issues. There are some choices none of us like.
Debtors anonymous can help some of us.
I have heard it said that for many of us it is survival for a long time. I persnally am on survival I may be there for a while yet. Right now I can accept being there, for a long time I could not.
Someone told me just live in the moment (today) and do the "next right thing" now I know living in the moment can't be 100% when the electric bill is due next tuesday etc.... But in general - dealing with what I can this moment and doing the next right thing really really helps- keeps me from worrying if I "should" do this or that. I do the very best I can at the moment and trust the rest to work out. Good Luck!
Also forgiving ourselves and continuing to try to learn to live as we want instead of as we always have is so helpful
I echo Glad. I absolutely believe that if you do what you know is the next right thing, regardless if your heart is really in it or if you want to, good things will happen. Faith works!
Blessings, Lou
