My willpower and self-control
13 months has passed since I found this current job. Every day was a constant battle to stay awake and alert because I am working the graveyard 12 hours shift. Some days are harder because I was feeling sick or I did not sleep well and become very tired. On my bad days, the brain just switched off and my eyes closed on the job.
I no longer doubt myself anymore. l can see how my willpower and self-control regain strength after I have recharge and restore my energy with sleep. After the third day on the job, my willpower and self-control will normally become weaker. My willpower and self-control are the like fuel in a car, the car run out of power when the fuel was used up. I have to be very determined and work very hard to handle the temptations and distractions at these times.
When I cannot find the strength to face these test and trials, I learn to depend on a power greater than me. I learn to have faith and trust on a Higher Power. I learn to pray in recovery.
Today will be the first working day of a four days cycle. I am very grateful to have a job.
Be kind and humble always. One day at a time.
