(((Angels))) - I think it's actually illegal to fire someone who is seeking treatment for substance abuse BUT I work in an "at will" state and you can be fired for anything, so I do understand.
Is there any chance you can get a counselor or therapist? What is said there is protected by law. Just a thought.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement. I was working with the women's shelter but I am at a point where I need to leave...and I am trying to find the courage to do it. I want to set a good example for my little girl...but it is very hard to leave...and very scary.

Let Me See Release From My Addiction
O Lord, with each new day, help me to be strong and continue to trust you.
Bring into my eyes and heart
an honesty that sees my true situation
and finds support in your goodness and guidance.
Let me see release from my addiction
and a renewed joy in living from this day forward.

Your Prayers Worked...
Hi Everyone- thank you thank you thank you for all the prayers today. They worked. I drove straight home this evening. When I got home I tried to do things that would keep me away from my husband and bring my stress level down a bit. I still feel physically sick from last night but feel better without the wine in my body this evening. I am having some ovaltine and plan to go to bed early so I can stay focused and get rest.
Amy to answer your question the kind of work I do, they can do anything to me employment wise...its complicated.
But it's ok I think as long as I stay engaged here and away from my husband I will be fine.
Dee74 thanks for asking how I was doing...I am here and so grateful I have you guys and all this support!!! Thank you so much everyone- lots of hugs sent your way!!!
