The Work Question

Hi All,

First, I apologize for writing so many posts. I guess that I'm just really excited to be apart of this site and have found such great people and information. So, thanks to ALL of you - you truly have no idea how much of a blessing you've been to me over the past couple of days.

OK, here's my question. I'm obviously only on Day 3 but I am concerned about my work ethic. In short, there isn't any. I'm either on here reading as much info as I can or getting ready for my next AA meeting.

Is this typical during the first stage of recovery? I told you all about how I e-mailed my family to let them know I'm an alcoholic and how supportive they have been. I'm now feeling convicted about e-mailing my 2 bosses as well.

We've know each other for years and they are like family to me. So, in short, here's my brain at work:

1. Fear - They'll fire me, dock my pay, label me as a liabillity.
2. Truth (as my wife tells me) - They'll be 100% understanding and support me 100%.

<sigh> - I get so sick of living in fear!
