Fired, Fired, Fired.
 
Yesterday my "husband" was told to seek help or lose his job. They sent him home until they could find suitable treatment for him. At 5:00pm they called him and fired him. He had already decided to take their offer of treatment and I was so hopeful. Now he is unemployed. I am sick on the inside. This man is alot of things, an alcoholic, an a**hole at times, bullheaded, always right, and so on but one of the positive things about him is what a hard worker he is. Always on time, stays late if necessary an idea man for the company. Over the last year he was promoted twice into a supervisor position. The responsibility was taken on by him with no increase in pay. He must have done something wrong but I feel like he was screwed. I feel bad for him and mad at him all at once. What a great way to start the new year. How could they dangle the carrot of treatment and then take it away in one day?? :c002:
He is calling the company he used to work for and resigned from 3 years ago for this better job, to see if they will hire him back. I am praying so hard it hurts. Is it always the disease's fault?

I'm so sorry for you both. Alcoholism is terribly cruel to our loved ones.
