Hello Everyone,
I have been on this been website since 2007 (off and on) and have written many posts & started a AF threads and made it to one year! And well you know the story that follows, thinking one won't hurt and the rest is a drunken history of UGH and here I am after TEN YEARS! Same story, I decided to pick up a drink and my life went into a periodic drinking binges! Calling out sick at work, sheesh I can't tell you how many times my Mom, Dad, Sister and now my brother has passed away....I am NOT proud of that one at all! Ugh, talk about being riddled with GUILT! And let's just add a cherry to the top of the dysfunctional sundae and bring in a man who constantly lied to me, show really no respect and I allowed it; BUT the worst part of this is we work together. THANK GOD the relationship is OVER!!!!! I decided to take a leave of absence from work because of that situation, which I am already on tight rope with them with my job but my mental and physical state needed to get repaired. Thank god again, I was approved and will return to work on 11/28 and since then I have. spoke to a therapist; thanks to my benefits (I think I have six free sessions). My plan is to continue getting therapy and also seeing my primary physician to get medication for my severe anxiety. I love my job and the pay is amazing! So, I am planning to stay regardless if this person is there or not, we do work closely together so it will be awkward, however it can be done! Lesson learned, it's not a good idea to DATE ANYBODY at your job (not to say there hasn't been success dating stories in the workplace).
Anywho, I think a lot has been written, thank you for reading and my apologies for any typos. As part of my mental recovery, I will be posting daily AF day counts. Today I am 2 days AF!! Post ya tomorrow!

It's 7:59pm, however the post time reads 3:59am. Does anyone know how to change that?
