Dear Percussion,
Sorry to hear that you had a rough day yesterday. The good news is that you made it through, and reached out when you needed it. I hope that things are looking up for you today.
I am 22 days new myself, and a bit hesitant to give out advice quite yet. That being said, I understand your work dilemma. I own retaurants/bars, so I cannot escape the drinking element around me. Selling the businesses is not an option for me, although it would sure make things easier!! I am trying to see my work environment as a challenge. Almost like an intense crash course in sobriety. Does this make sense? I am bombarded by challenge and temptation, but I see it as good because through great adversity comes great strength. If I can get through this, I can get through anything. I will say, it was tough at first, but each day it becomes a little easier, and I feel that the challenge I am meeting through my work will make me stronger in every social situation that involves alcohol.
Just my experience so far, and how I am trying to perceive it.
Best to you today!
