ARYA468: I agree with what has been said on this site, it is possible to achieve sobriety when working as a bartender but it is obviously much more difficult and risky to do so if this can be avoided. If you are convinced that there are no other equivalent employment opportunities and if you must work in a bar to finish college be prepared to deal with relapses if they should happen. Keep in touch with your doctor and seek the support of other recovering alcoholics, get their phone numbers, meet with them if you can. Just remember, if you are an alcoholic this illness can kill you. If it does not do so it will make you unbearably unhappy.
