The last few years of my drinking I became a really bad employee, among other things. I would rarely show up for work, I used 550+ hours of leave the year I got sober, I would poorly perform my job. On the inside I was miserable. I left that job at months sober and went a whole different direction and was actually ashamed of working a ‘lesser’ job. I know this isn’t a big deal for most but last week I worked more hours in a week then any week for the last 2 years, 34. And today I received a reward for going above and beyond. I may just be acting like a normal human, but am not normal. I am thankful for a refound spiritualality and great family and friends that helped hold my hand on this journey. I have decided that no matter what anyone say I am proud of myself today.
