Do not tell any employer/potential employee. That is crazy-talk.

As a manager, and a (former/recovering) drunk, I can agree with the earlier poster- In a way, I am a total hypocrite, but it generally holds true. I would have a very hard time trusting a person like me (odd, right?) to never ever slip, and worse, possibly in front of a client/co-worker/MY boss. I may never ever slip, but I wouldn't trust that if I wasn't me, and even then, I don't know how much I could count on myself (let alone a stranger), lol.

As others have said, AA is not 'treatment'. It's support, which is different. I am finishing 7 weeks of IOP treatment myself, which then shifts into Non-intensive treatment after that for 13 weeks. Give that a hot maybe?

Bottom line, do something that YOU think will be helpful for YOU. This is YOUR problem, and YOUR sobriety- not mine.

Welcome, buddy- this is a good place, with good people.
