Drinking on the Job... Burning Desire...
One of the hardest things for me is mid-day work. I work in IT and it is normal and even encouraged to go out with clients and co-workers to drink for lunch or after lunch. Well there was a time that I took that to heart… and literally for almost 2 weeks in a row. Well that turned into sneaking whiskey into my coffee or wine into a water bottle. I mean I wasn’t picky. I never got into trouble at work and I would like to think most people didn’t know. Or atleast they never said anything to my face.
So, here I am today… just saying for some reason out of the blue I am really struggling with that today. I am not giving into it. But, I had to put it out to the universe… as the decision I didn’t want to make today.
Thanks for listening. Now time to call my sponser.

I know how those urges can just show up out of nowhere and it's not fun getting through them. I just tried to remember how good I would feel when they passed and I hadn't given in. And they do pass.........
Hang in there - it's gets a little better every day!

I actually went to work under the influence, imagine that!
That was the saart of my sprial to rock bottom.
Knew I had a problem and now been sober for almost 2 years this July.
Struggling with what we have done still weights heavy in the back of my mind, but knowing that I'm sober and a totally different person todays, helps.
Now I try always to do the next right thing.
