Hi Ican! Good to see your post on my thread.
There will come a time when the urges get less and easier to get past.
Do you go to meetings? Do you have any outside support?
Everyone needs support and people who understand us. GT is a great tool but why not have a full tool box? I have often found anything by Melodie Beattie is wonderful. She is a deep thoughtful person.
Wishing you peace this weekend.

Hey Ican good to see you on my thread!
Well I am scheduled to work next Saturday so maybe I will get to spend 1 night camping. I had to add some “corrections” to the schedule at work. If you read “Not to work shifts over 8 1/2 hours” would you schedule someone to work 7:45 am – 6:15pm? Well I told the new boss and assistant you can have me until 6:15 but that means I have a late start time-9:45. They were not impresses but tough. I have to not let them bully me but it is hard. I do feel guilty because thats the codependent needy person I can be at times.
My brother heard on the new today that my bank is up for sale. Maybe I’ll get a buyout~Wouldn’t that be something?

Thanks Harry!

Well it has been a trying week for sure.
The tellers are out of sorts-the new quicker system is as slow as a snall and the customers are not pleased either.
I worked by myself with the new manager today. he seems fair enough-so far. Hard to tell 2 days in! My old manager took a parting shot. He changed my time off so I won’t be able to camp with my family the weekend before deb comes in. He changed my request-because he was sly enough not to give me a copy of the “approved” time-and didn’t bother to tell me he changed it. What a whimp that coward! I had a two minute talk with the new guy about it and he said it should have been taken care of before the old boss left. He said he would see what he could do. When I met him Monday I told him I was the one they warned him about and chuckled. I did tell him that I am a reasonable person really-and he would need to get to know me.
I did get a small accomodation with my schedule but not without a fight. It has yet to be implemted so we will be working on that too. It has created a lot of resentment I can tell but hopefully I will start turning my health around. My sugars are higher than they have ever been. Stress and exaustion do not help. Cronic back pain, elbow pain, name it claim in and dump it. I am tired of all this stuff.

Hi Guys,
Thanks Adele. Yes I have all but given up posting-at least for now-giving things time to settle here. Thanks for not giving up on up P and being a cheer leader here! We all need positive people around.
Lots of changes going on at work. After the employee relations person called me boss things have been odd at work. They gave him directions on my schedule and he compleatly ignored them. I have had a talk with employee relations and they said “Oh the accomodation hasn’t been implemented yet.” Really? He defied even them and in my opinion is acting in retalation.

Well I don’t have to worry much about him anymore as they transfered him to another branch. The new boss starts today and frankly I am scared. I don’t know what to think but I guess I will in a couple hours.
My boss took a parting shot. He altered my time off, after telling me for weeks that I had the time. Long story short if I don’t get what I was promised I will be back on the phone today with the employee relations person. Again, more retalation.
Oh for those who know, the bosses GF has been promoted and will be joining him at his new branch. How ironic!

I wish it was that easy for me P.
I hate the idea that my thread is gone. Over 3 and 1/2 years of recovery are on those pages. Maybe I am different but I refer back when I get in a rut and remember how I worked something out, or the support I got. I hate change, I guess I’m old. Not sure what I will do. I kept one thread for a reason.

Well not sure whats up but I am found! Amazing Grace I guess!
Still confused about how the new forum will flow but I do not like going back to the origional post then having to page through to get to the current stuff. Other sites are set up like that and i found them very hard to use-thats why I never posted to them.
It takes time to iron out the kinks.
We went on a new teller system today and customers will have to adapt. Not fun but necessary for sure!

Hi Cat,
A belated congrats on your 10 months!
I saw your post to carole about the suspected carpal tunnel. I have it and the best advice I got from my orthopedic was to sleep in a hand brace. ( About $25 dollars at a **** store )Took a bit of getting used to but it does give me much relief. If i don’t wear it at night I wake with alot of numbness and soreness.
If it gets really bad you can get a shot right in your hand near the nerve.
Hope your visit works out. Debbie will be here for a few days next month! Can’t wait!!

Hi Guys,
Interesting email at work today. It is from the head of employee relations wanting to discuss my request for a modified schedule. My cousin sent an email to corporate and I believe this is the result. I am scared frankly. Even though there is not suppost to be any retalitation in the real world that is rarely how things go. I just sent my cousin an email asing her what I should do or say. I am at a loss here.
Sirena welcome and thanks. Congrats on your "clean time". Recovery works when we work it. Even after 3 1/2 years "in recovery" some days are still a chalenge but worth it!
Deb I will be counting the days untll your arrivial! Making plans in my head already! I haven’t had an extended house guest ever so hope you don’t get tired of me too quickly! lol!
Carole I love Melody Beatty-never can go wrong with her advice!

Hi Guys,
Oh  not to mislead there miss p. These were used at my pinning 2 years ago August. That seems so long ago. I have stopped counted days but am past the 1 year mark again. No pin this time around. That was kind of like a sweet 16, you only have that once whether you get a party or not. ( I of course, did not )
Good to see you posting!

Hi Guy,
Where to start right?
There is nothing that you have done that most compulsive gamblers haven’t done. By the same token most of the things you speak of can be fixed.
Can you get to a GA meeting? You will find people there just like you ( and me ) who "know" you-even if they don’t "know" you.
Sucide is a perminate soloution to a tempory problem.
Have you looked at the 20 GA questions? I can answer "yes" to 19 of the 20 questions.
my best to you
