Today we received some very unexpected and bad news…my husband lost his job. We knew his co was going to be laying off employees but as one of their top performers, we didn’t think he would be one. (and no, unrelated to his sa)
please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We depend on his income quite a bit and have high fixed expenses right now. He’s already got two potential job prospects which helped soften the blow after the initial call. It’s interesting how all of this is handled in corporate America, they stayed on an h r script the entire time. This is a rif and has nothing to do with your job performance…..
Anyway I digress
For the hope for those staying with their sah…I’ve been in a fog since he called me at work with the news. I handle the finances so knew how difficult this is going to be financially
I was in such a fog that his sa an acting out did not occur to me like it Should hve given the stess of the news and all the free time he will have on his hand beginning tomorrow…. My sah said he had been thinking about his plan on preventing any slips. Said he’s Seen too many sa’s who have lost their jobs begin drinking too much and slide right back into their addiction. He said he did not want to make that choice, that it would be the dumbest and most costly decision of his life
he told me how he planned to make more meetings and mass, that he would schedule his week, send me his calendar and to let him know what I needed to feel secure he was where he said he was going to be
he’s not used our home computer since October, has a plan for use, hours, public area for computer, teaming
software so not tempted.
All unsolicited. I hadn’t even gotten past how we were going to pay ou bills once severence runs out.
Who is this man? He’s not someone I recognize, but he is someone I am beginning to feel more connected with
I hope for him, he continues on this path. And hope regardless of whether we end up together I begin to trust again, especially my instincts, my gut
thanks for listening and thank you for your support, positive energy, thoughts or prayersYou’ll both be in my prayers. I hope he finds something quickly. The economy is so awful.
And it’s more than hopeful to hear that he recognizes his risk, and not just financially. Stay strong for oone another.

Deep breath, Annabegins,
it sounds like he’s working on a plan to support his recovery doing this period added stress. I’m really sorry, though, that you’ve had this setback. But life is full of setbacks, isn’t it, and you both need to know you can get through this. Try and encourage each other as much as possible and keep to the plan. I’m praying for you right now and hope there will be a good outcome with the two job possibilities and the SA stuff.
