Good morning Betty,
I am a little behind in reading some of the post here but felt that I might try to give you a different view of a past statement above. I do not have the feel of the entire scene, I am not walking in your shoes boots, so to speak, so cannot know the moment, but I have heard the commercial about "When EF Hutton speaks, everybody listens". From this end I can see your boss recognizing you as the one with the voice of authority, as the banker with the knowledge and experience to help someone that he cannot; or just doesn’t care to. As in the subject in "Today’s Gift", celebrate who you are and try to look at presumed digs, or even obvious ones, as complements on your expertise. Feel good about what you have to offer, being capable of doing what others may not be capable of, or just unwilling to make the effort.
From a different post on a different subject, but alone the same line of my pointing out what you have to offer, I would like to complement you also on the growth in your recovery and the wisdom that you share with others. You statement to Marla today, "Abstinence from gambling is not recovery. The clean time does give us the opportunity to work on the reasons why we gamble. Without this knowledge and working on the whys I doubt any of us will truly recover and move on with our lives", is words we all need to follow in out daily efforts. Keep up the good work.
God’s speed. Stay strong. Celebrate life and your achievements, let the negative thoughts go.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.
