Hi Emmam, and welcome. My story story sounds similar to yours and many others. The idea of quitting never sounded good to me either. I was a wine rep in my early days and developed a taste for great wine and great food. Like you, there were issues but not consistantly. 15 years later I am looking back and realizing that the problems creeped in about 6 years ago that were steady and anxiety producing and sometimes almost the cause of me losing my job. I wish that I would have quit 6 years ago when the problems went from occassional to consistant.
As Amy2011 says, it sucks to wake up in the morning with shame and embarrasment, but it sucks even more to wake up from your life with those same things. I wish I would have stopped sooner.
