Hey Racer,

Welcome to SR! I'll repeat something here that I brought up in another thread. The risk you run by telling them is what if you come in one day and just have the "Blahs"? They might be quick to assume a relapse. For that matter, any mistake you make might come under scrutiny. Also, you're very early in recovery. What if, God forbid, you do relapse?

If they know you have a real problem, and then relapse they might have trouble trusting you again if you say you're getting back on the wagon to stay.

I don't know, it just seems like the risk might not be worth the gain. When you're traveling, or find yourself being tempted, call your sponsor or friends and family for help, not the boss, perhaps?
