I am new there and am still getting to know people, I don't want to reveal personal information to them just yet. I also think that it could affect me adversely as I rely upon co-workers for additional business in the field that I am working in right now and I really don't want them thinking I am a wild card.
Haha- makes me break out in handcuffs. Thats a good one.
I completely agree that I have to be feeling "solid" before going in. I will evaluate the HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired) ranges. I think its interesting, Soberinnepa that you said "overly elated" as one of the symptoms to look out for. Looking back on things, I had my relapse when I was overly elated. I had been sober for over a month and was out for an early morning run and got really excited about it being St. Paddy's day and seeing friends and made an impulsive move to go out to the city. I didn't really even realize that as a mood to lookout for until now- good looks on that. I will keep it in mind in the future.
