Not from me, you will get no grief.
I am having a hard time staying motivated and doing work, so let's keep each other in check. Sent one resume today, wrote a good letter and need to do more.
I feel like Iam over the hump with AL - no cravings here, but my goal was not to just stop drinking but start living a productive life.
My last boss was a non-drinker, but our job involved socializing and I drank with the clients. Not too any excess, but she did not. I wonder if she was an alcoholic and noticed that I darnk to much, becasue she told me that she has no more work for me, in spite the client's foundness om my work.

Yes and now.
I only got one call becasue of that. But I know recruiters are paying increasing attention. It is also a good tool to get in touch with people with whom you lost contact. You never know whom you may need tomorrow and vice versa. Also, they have a multitude of groups which you can join in your field, and that's a good way to keep updated on what others are doing. Almost evey school has an alumni group. For me, it has been fun way of keeping in touch with my contacts. As they say, networking is the key.
I hope this helps.
