Awesome 
! What happened?
I went to my store director because I was looking at my employee info….. and realized that when I started my new baking/ make the donuts 
job, my pay remained at the bakery clerk position and has been that way since I started the new position which pays a substantially higher wage and I went in and had AA meeting with him and we discovered that he…. Ummmm…. 
let’s just say say he dropped the ball:flushed:
I was not very happy to learn that anddddd soon after my meeting a BIGGER MEETING went on and the ball drop was apparent to payroll and my other upper store mgmt team and the “error” ( I’m being kind 
) was amended IMMEDIATELY and it was because I looked out for myself….. that is NEWWWW BEHAVIOR on my part since I got sober. I am very proud of myself. I have been sober for 3 1/2 years and 25 days and I am finally starting to learn that no one is going to rescue me, I MUST ADVOCATE for myself and I have never done that before and it felt amazing. Thank you for being interested and letting me share. I also asked another upper mgmt supervisor since I began my new position at if that increase would be retroactive, and I was reassured that indeed it would be and I can’t believe I was BRAVE enough to ask that question 
. Usually I just sit back and hopefully 
get what I deserve, and I am learning that I must ask for ME, Superman is a comic character and I have to be MY OWN SUPERHERO, my own WONDER WOMAN…
