Maybe then at the end of the month, god willing, I can say - I like this not drinking, going to continue.
Believe me, I would love to come clean at work but in my industry it's not an option to admit this illness, addiction. That's how I feel now anyway - I am hoping a day at a time to get to the stage where I don't give two hoots what others think. Working on the fear of what others think of me, as it's a big part of previous drinking.
Morning share done! Wishing everyone a peaceful and sober day today.
Do you say you have a drink problem sthlondon? I just tell people that I want to get healthy and most people seem okay with that. No one has labelled me as an alcoholic because as I never drank on the job etc etc
But I know I am. I am a functioning alcoholic and always will be no matter how long I stay sober. Me and drink are a lethal combination
