Thanks guys it means a lot.

bmwcycle - I start on Monday, I'm starting to look forward to it now. I think I was having a bad day and was thinking about alcohol a lot.

Thanks for all your support everyone xx

Are you going to AA there in Manchester?

Hi 2granddaughters. I'm not going to AA or any other meetings. I've live just outside of manchester and there isn't any near me and I don't drive either.

Once I've been paid I'm going to see a private counsilor as I have some issues I need to cover which I would not like to discuss at an AA meeting too

Jeans - don't spend this time worrying about how things could go wrong bud. You got hired for a great job, you're sober, you're moving forward in life. Give yourself a pat on the back and tackle the job with all your enthusiasm. I was worried about the same thing you're concerned about, but it all went to the wayside when I just immersed myself into the new job (after I quit drinking) and just treated it like a 2nd chance in life. Show them why you deserved to get hired....go make that money man! Congrats!

I started my new job yesterday and I love it. It's really hard but my concentration is so much better now i'm sober. I'm so glad I applied for it and it's right near loads of shops so I get to do a bit of retail therapy at lunch.

thanks for everyone that posted here

I think it would be unusual if you weren't nervous about a new job! Your reaction is just like a normal sober person's reaction. Congratulations on the new job, I'm sure it won't be easy but you'll do great. It's a new start for you.
