>I'm sorry to hear you're having probs Mark. I was wondering about you. Sorry I couldn't get to the site for almost a week so i couldn't read your message til now. Don't know what to do about the drinking but I won't lecture you on it that'ws for sure. I've been considering starting lately so it would be the pot calling the kettle black.
Didn't you tell me that you hated that job anyway? I know it sucks to be unemployed but maybe you'll have the time to figure out what you really want and be able to do it now. Fresh start and all that. I really hope things improve for you soon.
I've gotten a job(from hell) since I last wrote to you and I have taken up smoking again and am abusing my benzos with all the stress and anxiety that goes along with this damn job. I'm considering going off in another direction and it's hard to decide to do it. I have a security thing in the field I work in, I know I'm good at it and I know how so anything new is terrifying.My best wishes go out to you for a speedy ending to your unemployed status but I hope also that you get a job that fulfills you and makes you look forward to going in everyday.
My thoughts are with you and please keep in touch ok?
Hugs
