I don't have a question, rather a request. I am new to this site, and to detoxing with suboxone, and

Well, I already have the job I love, I should've clarified, I'm hoping I don't get fired from it when I go to this meeting. Thanks again

I work at the state prison, I am, or was, a corrections officer, but since I have an addiction problem that I sought help for, I am no longer a desirable employee.

Ok... did it effect your work? Was there an incident? I too work in a position of authority but unless something happened at work I wouldn't think they could terminate. Instead you would be mandated to treatment. What a kick to someone when their down!! I'm sorry.

kit kat, I am sorry to hear you lost your job. Have our pity party if you need as we all have had our fair share of them. Just keep your head up and don't be too hard on yourself.

Kitkat, focus on the good things to come. Twist this around and think of it as a chance to try something new. And know, it's OK to be sad.

Thanks all, No it effected nothing at work, at all, I never did anything wrong there, I did get in trouble outside of work, but thats happened to tons of officers, and while they get disciplinary, they still have jobs. if i wouldnt have told them about my addiction and seeking help, they wouldn't have known.

Its never 2 late 2 pray and the Prayers weren't wasted, I promise. I know it will b hard but try 4 a new job ASAP, maybe in security or with a mental hospital b4 it gets out what happened. please keep busy and keep coming here 4 support. Hold ur head up and know we r here. Thank u 4 letting us know what happened. I am still Praying 4 u, we all r. pattishan

Kitkat, I wonder why they couldn't of transfered you to another position in the prison that had less contact with inmates. Like visitation or something. I'm sorry. It doesn't seem fair.

Thx all. I don't normally lie down like a kicked dog when I'm wronged, but they did this at the lowest point of my life, however, now a few days later, I AM PISSED, and I will not lay down n just take this, I will look for a new job, but I also will fight for my old, or at least the chance to speak on my behalf, they didn't let me say anything, at all. I do have a small, side job, I'm a passion party consultant, which used to be alot of fun, haven't been into it much lately, bed ecnomy, etc., but will try 2 get some parties going quickly. Thx everyone 4 ur support and continued prayers
