I had to Let Go and Let God.. and change my expectations..

I came into this job and I wanted to conquer the world and win the war and save the day. Now I see if I could just do my job well and get out on time I would be doing myself a world of good. It is amazing. I had to change my perception or I was going to go crazy. I feel free in a way. Its amazing to me because earlier I felt defeated. I felt like if I don't come in and give 60 hours a week then I am letting myself lose. Now I see that I don't have to be emotionally engulfed in work. I've never been late or missed a day, and thats likely to continue as long as I stay sober. I am a valuable employee.

Thank you for a wonderful posting. What I learned is expectations screw up more relationships and jobs than practically anything else. It takes practice to do that but you're certainly off to a great start.
