hey brenda - i am in a somewhat similar situation. i work in the film biz and am constantly surrounded by booze. luckily (kind of) i got laid off and the binder i went on after that is what opened my eyes to the fact i need to be sober. so ive been able to distance myself during my detox and the start of my recovery. im at that crossroads where i don't know if i should go back to it and surround myself with all that again. i think i am strong enough to deal with it but why should i put the temptation in front of me. all of my friends are in the industry as well and i am not about to get rid of all my friends. and its also the only business i have ever wanted to work in so i don't know what else i would do. but sitting at home all day working on side projects gets real old!!!! so i can definitely undestand what you are going through in a way. thanks for letting me vent!!
