Occupational hazards

I feel like nobody likes me at my job… it has become as shitty job, but it used to be fun.

That sucks. These sorts of things happen from time to time. What do you think changed if I might ask?

We got some new people that are ugly to me, they changed me to PM shift where people drink and smoke weed on the clock, and I’m sober, so I’m automatically not part of their “group”. These same people who have been there less than me have gotten raises, and I can’t get one… owner doesn’t know about them using on the clock bc they all cover for each other, and expect the same from me. In other words, I’m just not one of the “favorites”. I thought about going to the owner and saying something but then if anything is done to them, it would be obvious who told him.

It makes me feel unappreciated, and unwelcome, and it is BAD for my serenity

They all come to work fucked up, and I do not, yet question MY work ethic, before their own, of course…

Maybe something like an anonymous tip dropped in his home mailbox urging him to hop in on the night shift one day. Idk still may work out they figure it was you. Maybe it is just time to move on. Regardless, that sucks and I am sorry that you are dealing with that. It's jacked up that so often such is the case where the good old boys club gets rewarded for bad behavior meanwhile those who follow the rules get punished.

You could not have stated that any better… it sucks for real

I lost a lot of "friends" in my recovery. Almost all of my local friends. All but one, in fact, and he is an alcoholic but he respects me enough to not push his own bad habits upon me. But, I an thankful for that one true friend as I wouldn't trade that sense of brotherhood for all the rest.

I live in Austin and have no friends here

Nothing changes if nothing changes.
It was difficult for me to be a worker among workers for a long time after I got sober. Get with your sponsor and get in the steps. It will get better.

What job do you have?

I work in the food service industry
