I posted about a week ago about a counselor position at one of the local rehab facilities in town.  Well, I got the job.  I passed all the background checks , and everything else went through no problem.  I go in this afternoon to start orientation and set up my schedule.  I've put so much thought in this, and prayed that God's will be done over the last 5 months, so I feel very good about this.  I'm also grateful for all the prayers that have been said for me.  In a way, it makes me feel good that my past (that qualifies me for the job) can be used for a greater purpose.  I was told that they don't hire anyone who isn't in recovery, and was grateful that there will be others there who understand.  I'm so excited, but a little anxious at the same time.  This will be the first job I've had since getting sober, and I'm hoping I can deal with the stress that comes with it in positive ways.  I'll be sure and keep you all updated as to my progress.

Thanks to all here who have shared with me over the last year, and all who have had some strength and experience to share.  Life sober is so much better than I could have ever imagined, and I owe it all to AA and friends like you all.  It's really true what they say...The best things really are yet to come!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you and God bless...
