The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I wish I could talk about my job in here. But, legally, I'm not allowed to go into detail. And since we are all anonymous, one of you could be my boss and I'd never even know it. All I can say is that I work with low bottom alcoholics and addicts and that some of them are personal friends of mine that I either met before they came to our facility or that I got to know after they came there. Some of them came from the streets and night shelters, some of them are mandated by the court system. I can also say that tomorrow I might have to do something that isn't sitting very well with me. The only positive side to it all is that I might not have to do it. So tonight I can put the matter in gods hands and pray for knowledge of his will and that I have the power to carry that out.
Thanks for just being here.

Thanks Wolfie. Good reminder for us all...God's hands are truly the best (only) place for our worries and troubles.

Just an update. I managed to survive the incident. I will still need to make the decision but I have another week to prepare for it and hopefully I can do it in as professional and as delicate a manner as possible. It looks to be that it will be okay so thanks for the love and support and for allowing me to be weak and vulnerable in your presence. :)
