Another aspect for me was motive in telling an employer. When newly sober before the job I wrote about in my earlier, post, I was given a job ideal for early recovery. I told them I was alcoholic and an AA member, but it was with the wrong motive. Rather than wanting to help,others and spread the message, I was looking for them to cut me some slack, make allowances, when I didn't turn up, or goofed off on the job. I learned after a while that this was not the right way to approach things.
I would be with Uncle Holmes today. I don't broadcast to all, but I am interested in helping others and I can't do that if I remain so anonymous that no one knows I have a possible solution. Besides, helping others is vital to my continued well being.
