My job is a trigger for me, I deal with secondary trauma all day and I leave work mentally and emotionally exhausted. I'd be craving that first drink shortly after lunch and couldn't wait to get home.

It took a long time to re-wire my brain. I've had to learn how to cope in different ways and to not let my work dictate my personal life.

Now I go home and eat dinner right away, not only is it sober, but it's healthier for my metabolism, and I sleep better because I'm tired and get to bed at a decent hour with a content belly.
