I committed to AA, I have a great team if doctors and my life has a backdrop of rcovery that guides everything I do. It takes time to build a new life.

I can definitely comment to the work environment question, as I am in the restaurant world. I went back to serving at five and a half months sober, did it for a year, and due to a back injury have transitioned to an office role in admin and Hr. I firmly believe we can be sober anywhere and in any job, if we choose. I believe equally as much that we shouldn't make it harder to get and stay sober, so making the right choice for you is the key.

Please choose sobriety- take the chance in that much better life.
