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.
