ah... the work trigger.

I have been at my current job for 8 years and I have come to hate it. It is a major trigger to my drinking. after spending all day everyday in that place I needed a drink.

Of course I was drinking everyday for the last 27 years but my job is still a trigger. Coming home from any job triggered me to drink...I felt that after working all day I deserve it.

I quit drinking on October 24th and have not been to work since October 26th due to anxiety and depression. I know I have to go back to work at some point (probably in January) and I know it is going to mess with my sobriety bigtime.

I feel strong enough now not to drink but once I get back to that day to day grind of working I may feel different.
