Sorry to hear of your continued struggles at work. It's very important for you to remember that the situation isn't WHY you were drinking so much. You were drinking because you are an alcoholic. Drinking did not, and will not solve your issues at work. It will make them worse actually. And you've made it through many days sober, so you can absolutely make or through today too.

Basically your addiction is trying to set you up/give you an excuse to drink again. You know better than to fall for it....that's why the good/sober part of your mind came here to tell us about the situation. Listen to it and listen to the good things/people here have to say about staying sober.
Thanks. I made it through the day. One thing I've realized is that mornings are tough times for me, like I wake up and I immediately think about drinking. If I can get through that thought, it really helps.

I think I'm somewhere around 25 days and this is the longest I've gone without drinking in a long time.
