Sobriety and work
Hi guys, a question for everyone
I’m going back to work today (I run a small business that demands I work everyday, but today I’m back properly). I can’t bare thinking about it. I don’t want to go back. I dread it.
I’ve been ill so often in past two years (drinking hasn’t helped obviously!!) due to over work and stress. I’m very new to sobriety but am loving it, creating habits that are good for me. My son said I was the best dad ever last night, ouch/happy/crying/proud/lush moment. I’m so much better dad and husband already
So, question is - how did people balance work against getting and staying sober? Drinking is not an option for me, those days have gone, so work will not lead me to drink. But did people manage to carry on as before; did they change/give up/increase work?
I know what I want to do but am aware early recovery is up and down so am interested in other people’s wisdom
