OMG I LOVE DRAMA!!!
Why oh why would I want to give up this being able to work from home? Oh yeah, $, support from the home office doesn't really exist, not many listen or care, and on and on. Oh yeah, its another granted position. Did I mention $? I wanted to travel but I wanted to travel more than WV, I have now seen WV I am not impressed.
So we'll see what happens from this interview. Office setting, more $, lots more $, helping individuals with info and referrals, 5 minutes from where I live, a job to finish out my working days instead of always wondering when the grant is over where do I go next...
Last night's meeting difficult. I do what I can to retain some composure, not judge or cringe I am sick too and then they start to talk about bringing in outside speakers from the professional community to teach about safety and treatment. All I did, I swear it all I did was mention that may break one of our Traditions. What Tradition he asked. They really don't know. A very very angry AA with an addict son and a Mother who enabled him and now is enabling his son. He sure didn't want to ehar what I had to say. I stepped back and prayed for that dear Grandmother who just wants both her on and grandson to be ok, not hurt and not hurt her while her son stnads there yelling at her for being an enabler after admitting how he has sbeen raising his son's botom for years and now is just going to stop dealing with himm at all. Oh how sad. My son's Dad did the same thing. Gave him $ and who knows what else then tried different tactics and suddenly stopped and tried a different tactic but then Lonny didn't talk to his Dad for the rest of Lonny's life---
Hmmm wonder how I ended up here?
Done for now, no crying now have an interview soon... life goes on and on and I hope it goes on for that man's son. I am finding today I can have compassion for both of them. The son in his disease, the Dad newly sober so hurting for his son.
And th Mom/Gandmom hurting thru it all clueless on how to help either of them.

so, how'd it go? what's the decision.
rough, rough meeting. speaking and then praying--that's pretty sober, girl.
thanks for the comment about HP. it's meant a lot to me to get responses.
That would freak me out. Someone talking about bringing in outside speakers from the professional community. YIKES! That is scary really.
Sounds like you practiced the principles in all your affairs though.
Hope you have a great nite!
