whatcouldbe, hi and fantastic that you didn't drink at work when the opportunity arose.
It really does get better but if like me you want to run before you can walk, don't or you may stumble and fall.
One day, one baby step at a time. You will be stronger and life will have more clarity. I thought I was functioning fine I between drinking or at work but now I realise my head was fogged up. It's great when the fog lifts but life's not perfect. I picked a drink up when there was a problem.
Now I have to deal with life without booze. But it is all worth it.
Hang on in there.
