    HI Kathryn
    I’m not really sure what to write, what can anyone say that can help, words just don’t seem to mean anything.. So from me I just want to say I’m thinking about you and your family this this time
    Best Wishes

    Hi Kathryn
    I’ve followed your thread from day one, you’re an inspiration to us all.. I’ve been in recovery for about 5 years, but I’m still learning about me and find bits in your posts that help me challenge the way I look at life. So I thank you for your continued honest, funny, inspiring posts
    Happy New Year to you and your family
    Best Wishes
    Grant

    Hi Kathryn
    When I first went into recovery, I was jumping at every chance…  Decisions to me were difficult to make, one because I have perfectionism traits, but gambling also had played a great role of scrambling my thoughts… & yep Gamblers don’t like change
    I was given this tool as a way of thinking how to make decisions… it may or may not help, it’s simply 4 questions that revolve around one question.. So in your case they would be
    ·         What are the Pro’s of taking this job
    ·         What are the Con’s of taking this job
    ·         What are the Pro’s of NOT taking this job
    ·         What are the Con’s of NOT taking this job
    I can remember thinking  so clearly this was rubbish, now I use this quiet a bit in various situations if I’m unsure of a situations it just becomes a natural reaction to how I make decisions
    As of yet it hasn’t let me down, I just hope you find it useful… But above all Kathryn and I’m sure you’ve heard this elsewhere.. YOU have to do what is right by YOU
    Best Wishes
    Grant
