Hey, Alex. I don’t where you live/work, so this may not work, but there is a legal option that may be available to you. Alcoholism is a medical condition. And you can’t be fired for having a medical condition. If you have not yet been fired, and if you are willing to confront your alcoholism (it sounds like now is a good time to do that), you should consider disclosing to your employer that you are seeking treatment for alcoholism and are requesting that you be given the opportunity to do that. If your employer agrees to hold your job open, then, of course, you must pursue the treatment option. This request to your employer may not work, and it will certainly fail if you make the request AFTER they fire you, but it may be worth a shot. What have you got to lose?
