The thing to do is to get right back up on that horse and stay sober.
I hope you got the wrong end of the stick about your job, but whatever happens it really is better for you to be sober toni

It's tough, especially when jobs, office politics and all that get in the way, it drives me insane sometimes!!
The learning from this though is there is always going to be ups and downs in life, and we can't keep reaching for alcohol when life throws us a few curve balls, we need new tools in the toolbox to deal with life, it can be done, but don't beat yourself up, it's gonna take time to build up a few Sober muscles!!
Go for it again, it's in the past!!

Try to learn from this experience. How do you feel? Did the drinking and smoking make things better, or did it make you feel worse? I used to keep a journal so I could write down how I felt before, during and after drinking, otherwise self-reflection is simply lost and it's real easy to spin your wheels. Having a hardcopy record of the dismal trip of alcohol helped me crystallize my resolve to quit.
Good luck

a friend of mine uses that term. Asks me "you still on the wagon"?
I say "nope.... not on the wagon. Just not a drinker."
I think when we visualize sobriety as being 'on the wagon' we see it as something temporary and instable. Something we can 'fall off' of.
I'm sorry you find yourself staring down the gaping black maw of a relapse. That sucks and I know how it feels.
Time to move forward though. One step, one day at a time.
Forget about 'the wagon'..... instead, put one foot in front of the other and WALK.
Don't ride a wagon, travel down a different path, on your own two feet.

In glad i felt horrible after an during drinking... i felt nauseous while drinking an got a splitting headache after... it wasn't fun like how i remember it, instead of was depressing. Also felt like i had the flu..... i wrote All this down for the next time i think to drink.....
I'm so happy you dumped it out! Dust yourself off and try again! Have a backup plan for your job. Keep your brain busy by prettying up your resume. Maybe this isn't a bad thing. Maybe you have something even better in your future!
