The job I had when I first got sober was on a juvenile detention unit.  I did not get along with the clinical director for numerous reasons.  Many of those were due to my character defects and poor boundaries due to being in early sobriety (and leftovers from being an active drunk during part of that period).  It was chaotic.  The clinical director was also unethical though and many people didn't get along with her.  I also resented her because I was not licensed and had to answer to her and felt she was a giant hypocrite (yeah I know, inventory taking).  I had it out with her a few times...got written up and suspended without pay even for 2 weeks. She got fired less than a year after I quit there.  My journey over the last several years has been interesting for sure.  Aside from meeting my partner about 4 years ago and us now being on the verge of getting married in 2 months, I got licensed in my field and have progressed.  Last week, that same company where I have former coworkers that have seen my growth and that I stayed in contact with...That company made me the clinical director.

No, it's not been all easy and steadily upward the last 5 and a half years.  There's been breakups, work drama, other life stuff.  But it's amazing what happens when you take alcohol out of the picture and get the hell out of your own way.  God will take you on a far more interesting and rewarding ride than booze ever could.
