Awake in the night, planning how to get off work

Today I took my first sickie for many years having decided that I was too hungover to risk driving. This was the final straw so I am giving up forever, starting today. Having tried several times before by myself, I am now following the advice of a good friend and will use this wonderful community to help me stay sober. Looking forward to the fog clearing.

Welcome mba! I wish i'd done the same. It took many of those sick days, and worse, before I sobered up before losing a career. I hadn't used them in over a decade, then as the disease progressed, so did my ability to miss work.

Take advantage of the clarity in your decision; if you don't, i feel most of us can testify it will never get better, only worse.
