Figured I do another one of these to let ya all know the recent developments with everything I got goin on.

My drug and alcohol assessment went well. I got assigned to 1 on 1 counseling sessions instead of the group classes that are normally assigned. Telling the truth paid off in that I was already considering seeking counseling for my alcohol and bp related issues.

My preliminary hearing for my DUI has been pushed back clear to February 25th. Nice not having to deal with it right now, but I rather have it all over and done with. Or at least know what is going to happen to me. The not knowing is a killer.

The new gf I and are really hitting it off well. Both of us are very excited to be back in a committed realtionship. Our feelings on nearly everything relationship related are mutual. Not to mention she's a few years younger that I and studying to be a nurse, so she'll be able to help me when I'm senile and crippled. lol

She is also accepting of my condition and I am helping her along with the process of seeking help for her terrible anxiety issues. She was going to just see her family doc, but I recommended a psych clinic instead. She went last week for her initial assessment and goes this week to begin psychotherapy/counseling. I printed out the fact sheet for GAD on here and gave it to her with the link for this website. She really appreciated it.

The hardships here at work have turned out to be a blessing in disguise. A woman in accounting quit and the dayshift warehouse tech was pulled back into the accounting department, leaving us 2 men down in the warehouse. Last week, my boss got approval to hire a temp in the warehouse. I had previously recommended my roommate for the position if it became available. Well everything worked out, and after training this weekend, he started work today as the new temp dayshift warehouse tech. This is his first full time employment since he was forced to resign his old postion at a different mine in July 2012.

Feels amazing to repay the favor he did me in getting me a job at his then place of emplyment when my old job was unable to keep me over the winter back in 2010.
