On a positive note, besides attending AA meetings, I’m active in the community going to start going to San Diegans Against Gun Violence meetings who I contacted and received a supportive reply from. I’ve been busy studying for my insurance license exam and taking practice tests steadily improving each time until I get it perfect. And was voted into the Alumni Board of Directors of my law school and elected Secretary meaning I take the minutes for every meeting we meet once a month in downtown San Diego. I’ve enjoyed networking with a community of Attorneys and the Deans of my law school which has been a very pleasant experience so far. I’ve come a long way, I’m suiting up and showing up in ways I was not before going to treatment in and out of jobs when my Father passed away and doing my best to get going again in a positive direction. I feel like I wish I would’ve been doing what I’m doing now then but happy about where I am in life. I’ve been invited to speak on panels at the Suicide Prevention CLE and the New Admissions Orientation as an Alumni. I hope that one day my experiences will inspire others to keep going and not give up. I’ve also been interviewing for jobs at law firms here in San Diego and waiting to hear back from a Tax law firm and a Family law firm, keeping my fingers crossed. I know I’m not on adderrall anymore but have to believe in myself that I can do it again work! And remember the meds became ineffective and needed them to just be normal. If I’m normal now without the meds able to stay awake all day there’s no reason why I should not be able to work everyday and build a new life for myself here in San Diego.
