Back... and ready.. again.. harumph.
 
Well I got myself in a wee bit of trouble. I had been sober.. for a long time (for me), and got stupid, and drank. Drank enough to smell like it the next day. One meeting with my boss later, I was being driven home by a trustworthy coworker. ouch. Never so horrified in my life. Now on a mandatory (thank GOD) counseling/treatment program, my employer is so amazing, they just want me to be better, and they love me. Thank goodness. So I am gonna need you guys.. I dropped off this site, AA, stopped pursuing counseling on my own, and here I am.. rock bottom 2.0.

Here's to us :) Missed ya'll!

Anna, you're right.. incredibly fortunate and blessed that my employer is so supportive. She actually said "firing you was not even a thought, lets see what we can do to get you well, we love you working here".. geeze. now if my hubby could stop being angry and get on board :) takes time...

Thanks for such a welcome.. I feel blessed here as well. Friday night, not a drop of liquor in SIGHT (or mind he he)

:o)

Welcome back Flutter and I'm so happy for you. Employers like that are hard to come by these days. We are here to support you 24-7. Well, I mean there will be someone around at all hours considering the time zone difference and all. Okay I'm rambling. Time for bed. Good night and again, welcome back. :)

Hi Flutter, so glad you're getting the help and support you need from your employer! (Husbands are another matter...) Take care.
