Job Stress..coping without the drink
I just learned today that one of the managers in my department is probably going to be doing a job very much like mine. We will both have senior titles but she will make a lot more money. She is difficult to say the least. She swears and is rude and few people like her. The way this has come about has been shifty and shady and I feel betrayed. She has already told me she will be "bugging the he** out of me". She is known as a backstabber and would throw you under the bus. I'm 15 days sober but that stress was a real trigger. It was amazing how quickly I thought of a drink when I heard this news. Ugggg. I will try to be positive but it's hard. I wish I didn't think about a drink when things get a little tough. Anyway..thanks for letting me vent.
