I too delt with people who first were nice
and all that, they turned on me, someone
who would treat them the way I would want
to be treated. And yet they treated me cruely
just like you said, just to move ahead.
They would kiss ass just to move up in their
jobs. Run over anyone who got in their way,
be disrespectful, gossip, squealed, back stab,
...you know the routine.
I too got tired of it. Sick and tired of it.
I also stayed close with my program, prayed
and tried to let go of those unwanted
resentments that could and would cause
health issues.
In my case, I am grateful that I was able
to let go of the work force and retire in
my early 50's with my husband.
Im sure there are many good folks still
out there in the world, but many ive worked
with seem to be lacking something good
in their lives or upbringing.
Who know how many of thes folks are
under the influence of some sort of
toxic substances which make them
act differently from that of someone
clean and sober.
I use to be someone under the influence
of alcohol and I would be manipulative,
would lie, etc, and no one ever knew how
sick I really was inside because I hide it
so well behind the mask.
I prayed, I cried a many a times in sobriety
during my working career and all I knew was
the Man upstairs did hear my cries of despair
and in time He would take care of me. It was
that Faith and belief I have within me that I
know He would and could take care of me, guide
me in the direction I needed to go, in His time
and not mine.
So in some cases in my sobriety, I had to be
patient and turn my will and life over, placing
it into His hand for safe keeping, guidance,
protection.
Sure enough my time came and once again
I am grateful for my life in sobriety and Faith
in my Higher Power.
